Our Catholic faith calls us to be pro-life in more ways than one. In light of the teaching of the catechism (CCC §2267), we are called to work for the abolition of the death penalty worldwide.
If you want to get access to the tools and resources to get started on this avenue of pro-life advocacy, you can find out more at https://catholicsmobilizing.org/action/mercy-action-project.
The Catholic Mobilizing Network is a national organization that mobilizes Catholics and all people of goodwill to value life over death, to end the use of the death penalty, to transform the U.S. criminal justice system from punitive to restorative, and to build capacity in U.S. society to engage in restorative practices.
Through education, advocacy, and prayer, and based on the Gospel value that every human is created in the image and likeness of God, CMN expresses the fundamental belief that all those who have caused or been impacted by crime should be treated with dignity. CMN works in close collaboration with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and is a founding member of the Congregation of St. Joseph Mission Network.
