Death Penalty: "The Holy See is Apparently in Error"

They do not give the Parish name. It is Saint Philippine Duchesne Catholic Church, my Parish when I lived in Kansas! God bless Fr John Fongemie and the people of Ste Philippine's for standing firm for the Catholic Faith!

The parish of the Fraternity of Saint Peter in Westwood, Kansas, has placed the following announcement in the bulletin for this weekend

Dear Parishioner,

You may have read that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has recently announced that the Catechism of the Catholic Church will be amended to teach that the Death Penalty, i.e. the judicial condemnation of an evil-doer to death, by competent authority, is now to be considered always inadmissible.

Leaving aside any discussion of particulars, and making reference only to the general principle, such a position runs contrary to the natural law and constant teaching of the Church.

The Holy See is apparently in error, and in my view, no Catholic should feel himself bound to the Catechism in this regard.

Please pray for the Pope and the bishops.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Father John Fongemie

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
