美國弗吉尼亞州廢除死刑,教會對此表示歡迎

死刑室  (AFP or licensors)

By Vatican News

Feb 25 2021

美國弗吉尼亞州眾議院通過了一條廢除死刑的法律。該州執行死刑的次數在美國全境高居首位,而今迎來了歷史性的轉折點。聖艾智德團體尼亞維神父稱之為「良心的勝利」。

(梵蒂岡新聞網)美國弗吉尼亞州通過了廢除死刑的法律。對於長期在世界各地反對死刑的人來說,這是一大勝利。美國已有23州決定廢除死刑,而弗吉尼州眾議院通過的這條法律卻意義格外深遠:里士滿是美國數一數二古老的城市,而該州是美國歷史上執行過最多死刑的地方。當地的首次死刑可追溯至1608年,當時處決的是一名西班牙男性。死刑信息中心的數據顯示,弗吉尼亞州從第一次訴諸於死刑以來,已實施了約1400次。

關於美國弗吉尼亞州廢除死刑的情況,聖艾智德團體反死刑活動協調人尼亞維(Marco Gnavi)神父表示,「這是歷史性的轉折點。在天主教會、眾多協會和所有摸著良心承認已有太多死亡的普羅大眾的同心協力之下,促成了這一轉變」。許多青年也表明反對死刑。

尼亞維神父接著講述了國際輿論反對弗吉尼亞州死刑的歷史。他引用了一個知名的案例:奧台爾(Joseph Roger O’Dell)因一級謀殺罪被判死刑後,於1997年被處決。尼亞維神父指出,當時包括若望保祿二世和加爾各答的德勒撒修女在內,很多人為奧台爾請求法外開恩。那麼,今天為什麼會發生這個歷史性的轉折點呢?這位反死刑活動的協調人表示,「原因有很多。但我們當然不能忘記那條由若望保祿二世開啟、本篤十六世承先啟後、最終在方濟各牧職期間大功告成的道路」。2018年8月,教宗方濟各修改了《天主教教理》有關死刑的條文,寫道:「教會依照《福音》的教導,表明『死刑是不能接受的,因為它殘害人的不可侵犯性和尊嚴』,同時決心致力於在全世界廢除死刑。」

今年二月初,弗吉尼亞州表明要廢除死刑時,當地教會便予以熱烈歡迎。阿靈頓教區伯比奇(Michael F. Burbidge)主教和里士滿教區克內斯托特(Barry C. Knestout)主教簽署了一份聲明。他們寫道:「我們贊成參議院和眾議院的投票,並以祈禱支持可怕罪行的受害者家屬。」同時,神長們也「明確又堅信地」重申《天主教教理》的內容:「死刑是不能接受的,因為它殘害人的不可侵犯性和尊嚴。」主教們強調,「死刑今天是不可接受的」。即使被判決的人罪孽深重,死刑「依然有悖於天主對每個人和社會的計劃,與祂慈悲的正義背道而馳」。- Vatican News
