In this video, Fr. Greg O’Meara, SJ talks about the history of the death penalty – both its moral history from a Catholic position and its history in the United States. Fr. O’Meara brings the perspective of a former criminal prosecutor, which sheds light on the criminal justice system, and offers a good summary of Catholic teaching on this issue.
