The following quote is from a letter various Florida Catholic Bishops sent to Governor Rick Scott:
"Killing people to show that killing is wrong is a piercing
contradiction and one that touches our very souls," the church leaders
added. "Executions coarsen us. We daily condemn the glorification of
violence, but what example is set when our state legitimizes killing?
What results can we expect?"
***
"Governor, will our citizenry be any safer, will Floridians be any
better protected, if we execute these men? Will not the safety of
persons and the preservation of public order be as secure if instead you
commute these sentences to lifelong confinement?"
