Saving the people on death row is one of the first tangible, reachable steps toward saving our democracy. It demonstrates mercy and a respect for human rights that MAGA seeks to destroy.
I think in this case it's more death (the event) than death (the state). which is still weird bc of its inevitability, though i imagine he didn't specify something about "in this manner" for rhetorical affect
lol I don’t think that’s how excommunication works. It’s more about preventing schisms than pwning the bad guys.

The pope isn’t really in the business of king-making anymore. I don’t think he’d get away with it, and could cause another schism — they’re honestly not far already! See: the Catholics on SCOTUS, or the widespread sense that he’s the “woke” pope

Totally clueless from Francis.
Pathetic.
What a fucking moron!
So hoping he's getting good advice and takes it.
Francis could defrock every American bishop that supported Trump and he should be pressured to do so.
He could also excommunicate every Republican Catholic and he should be pressured to do so.
The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised, regardless of anything Francis does or doesn't do except die.
