Cardinal Parolin rejects public execution of Nidal Hasan

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Cardinal Pietro Parolin and U.S. bishops oppose a Pentagon plan to broadcast the execution of Nidal Hasan via a live internet stream. Hasan was the perpetrator of the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood.

Parolin stated that the Church is entirely opposed to the death penalty and said it is unacceptable to make a spectacle of death. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Archbishop Timothy Broglio also expressed opposition to the plan.

The bishops argued that the death penalty goes against human dignity and warned that turning death into a public performance could promote a culture of death.
