The full post;

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Obviously, the Bible has enough crazy stuff in it that you can justify whatever you want. But these people are all very invested in getting angry over this post for some reason. It is like their "Christianity" is just about worshipping authority and giving themselves permission to do whatever they want.

I riffed up pretty much a full treatment for a movie that needed to come out in the early 2000s called Pope Bradley starring Malcolm in the Middle as a kid pope

    If I were Pope, i'd let you use the Papal Time Machine to go back in time to make that movie

    The stuck up villain cardinal would be played by Rip Torn. He throws a big party at the Vatican when his parents are out of town, he even uses his Papal influence to get Sum 41 to play. Just as he's about to kiss Love Interest, Rip Torn bursts in with the Swiss Guard, the record scratches as the music stops despite it being a live band and he tells Malcolm in the Middle that the Pope has to be celibate. Some kind of crisis occurs thar he solves with a speech about how while it is fun to goof off as pope, sometimes you need to step up and do what's right. Then he quits his pope job to be with Love Interest. There is a silly B plot where his dad played by Eugene Levvy gets a job as a Swiss Guard

    'Come out and explain to all these people waiting for your sermon why you're grounded! Tell em they'll have to come back next Easter!'

    'That's a bunch of Papal Bull!'
