Death penalty development

Friends, here's a link to today's Christian Science Monitor report on  the death penalty: "The bittersweet reality is that money, rather than morality, has become the tipping point for abolishing it."

Those of us who were in Indianapolis last week to hear Sr. Helen Prejean will find this new reality bittersweet indeed, that money should trump the immorality of the state killing people in our names. Yet perhaps even this is God at work to bring down the evil of the death penalty.
