Justice vs. Mercy: The Church and the Death Penalty

Since 1976, more than 1,460 lives have ended due to the death penalty. There are currently thousands of people on death row, as 31 states still allow the death penalty.

Fr. Richard Simon, host of Father Simon Says™ stops by The Drew Mariani Show™ to discuss with Drew the Church’s teaching on the death penalty. Drew and Fr. Simon also take calls from listeners on all sides of this debate.
