Anthony Shore is scheduled to be executed on October 18, 2017 in Texas. It is believed that Shore suffers from a traumatic brain injury that likely occurred before he committed the crimes for which he has been convicted. Catholic Mobilizing Network calls on all people of goodwill to oppose this action. Advocate for clemency for Anthony by sending a letter to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.

On Wednesday, while speaking on the 25th anniversary of the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis chose to make an unequivocal statement: The death penalty... "is, in itself, contrary to the Gospel" and that it "heavily wounds human dignity." Catholic Mobilizing Network (CMN) is hopeful that this proclamation will reinforce and clarify the Church’s consistent pro-all-life teaching.
