- Pope Leo XIV called the death penalty inadmissible, saying it attacks the inviolability and dignity of the person.
- The Pentagon announced plans to livestream Nidal Malik Hasan’s execution by firing squad.
- The Pentagon’s confirmation prompted criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle.
- On Friday, Archbishop Paul Coakley condemned the decision as promoting a barbaric culture of death and demanded reconsideration.
The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption.— Pope Leo XIV; wrote on X on Saturday
