In this episode of Veritate, Johnny Mac examines the death penalty through Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium, showing that the Church has never taught it is murder but rather a defense of life’s dignity. From Genesis and the Cross to Augustine, Aquinas, and Trent, the witness is clear, even as modern language has caused confusion. With the case of Tyler Robinson and Erika Kirk’s public act of forgiveness as a contemporary lens, this episode calls Catholics to hold justice and mercy together, reject the evolution of dogma, and ask Pope St. Pius X to pray for us in an age of uncertainty.
