Parish Toolkit

These resources are available to help you spread the word about what the Church teaches on the death penalty and why we as Catholics are called to take action to abolish it.

"The Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that 'the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person,' and she works with determination for its abolition worldwide."
