Respect Life

Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talks with Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy, executive director of the Catholic Mobilizing Network, which fights the use of the death penalty and works toward restorative justice solutions. She says that the church’s opposition, clearly defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, focuses on the inherent human dignity of every human, and notes that we need to do a better job of educating Catholics and others about the issues surrounding capital punishment.
