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 see two possibilities here:

-This believes Catholicism is true, in which case "I will probably stay a catholic" is a very flippant attitude to have to his immortal soul.

-This guy doesn't believe Catholicism is true, in which case "I've been a Catholic all my life" is a bit weird since he knows he doesn't actually believe.

    not that weird, I would say the majority of catholics I have met in my life don't really believe it. It's definitely one of the most "cultural" religions where it's kind of openly accepted that most catholics think it's not literally true. Large part of why it's shrinking and they can't get anyone to show up to mass
