Senior Advisor to the Secretary General of Pax Christi International, Former Co-President of Pax Christi

"A deep belief in the sacredness of every human life; our enduring capacity for conversion; and the urgency of creating a nonviolent world are at the heart of my opposition to the death penalty. Our society urgently needs reconciliation and healing, justice that is restorative, and a recognition of the structural violence and systemic injustice so often at the root of our troubles."
