The Bishops of the United States have launched an appeal for President Joe Biden to commute the sentences of the men on federal death row before the end of his term.New cardinals, an aging pope and the upcoming conclave“As President Biden prepares to leave office, please urge him to commute all current federal death sentences to terms of imprisonment before his term ends.”
“Let us pray that their sentence be commuted, changed,” said the Pope at the Sunday Angelus prayer. “Let us think of these brothers and sisters of ours and ask the Lord for the grace to save them from death.”In their appeal, the US Bishops said President Joe Biden has “an extraordinary opportunity to advance the cause of human dignity by commuting all federal death sentences to terms of imprisonment and sparing the lives of the 40 men currently on federal death row.
The US Bishops pointed to Pope Francis’ 2018 change to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which states that “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.”A growing number of advocacy groups have joined forces to urge President Biden to commute the federal death row.
