O'Donnell on Capital Punishment and Religion

By Marc DeGirolami

Marc,

In response to a Catholic argument in favor of capital punishment in the comments, I have given voice to a Christian case (one I think at least some Catholics might find congenial) against the death penalty (relying, again, largely on Gorringe's book).
