Catechism & State Protection: The Gross Negligence of the Holy See

updated October 2023

Catechism & State Protection:
The Gross Negligence of the Holy See
Dudley Sharp, independent researcher, death penalty expert, former opponent, 832-439-2113, CV at bottom

From Evangelium Vitae (EV), 1995 (1) to the CCC 2267 amendments of 1997 (2), the Church has limited death penalty application based upon Her false claims of criminal justice safety, with the latest CCC 2267 amendment, 2018 (3) declaring the death penalty inadmissible, based within criminal justice safety, as well as some, newly, discovered teachings on the dignity of life, which are nowhere to be found, as they have, always, existed in Church teachings. The 2018 CCC 2267 amendment (3), is based within other falsehoods, as well (8,9).

It is complete, utter nonsense as the Church has well known (4), prior to 1995. It is, impossible, not to know (4).

This criminal justice safety had been disproven (4) prior to EV being presented (1995), as anyone familiar with criminal justice systems is aware. (4). The facts are that repeat unjust aggressors are very common, worldwide (4). 

The Church is very aware and, always, has been, just as She was with the priest sex abominations and hid those, and still does, until uncovered by those outside the Church, just as with EV and the two CCC 2267 amendments.

Those pronouncements, within EV and CCC 2267, reflect zero concern about the reality of violence within prisons and the fact that criminal justice systems, worldwide, allow unjust aggressors to reoffend against innocents, over and over, again (4), just as with the Church and her priest sex horrors.


All amended 2267s are such a poorly considered prudential judgments as to negate any "prudential" moniker or any reference to responsible judgment.


The Church and 
Saint Pope John Paul II ("SPJPII") made no prudential judgment, here, but instead, made a factual assertion which was entirely and easily, proven false (4),  in fact, had to be known as false, in plain sight . . . a grossly irresponsible judgment ---  all at times (1995/1997/2018)  when the Church and the Popes were in the midst of the horrendous moral scandal of priests being allowed to sexually assault children, repeatedly, a horror which, as revealed within EV and both amended 2267s, had no effect on either the Popes or the Church to consider additional harm to innocents within EV or the amended CCC 2267s.

No concern, whatsoever, 1995 forward.

Instead, what EV and the amended 2267s do is to put more innocents at risk, which is undeniable and is very well known (4, 4a).

It reflects an astonishing callousness in the same vein as the Church's 80 years of priest sex horrors, but with many, many more victims, as the Church is aware.

For over 700 years, if we include this commentary: "Writing in the early 16th century, the Dutch scholar Erasmus already lamented that the faithful 'often fall into the hands of priests who, under the pretense of confession, commit acts which are not fit to be mentioned.' "

Let's look at "the means at the State's disposal" and the willful ignorance or deceit of anyone that would state that repeat offenders are "very rare, if not practically non-existent", because of current criminal justice systems.

The Church "had the means at the Church's disposal to effectively repress crime by rendering inoffensive the priests who has committed it".


But the Church did not, for, at least, 8 (or 70) decades.  With cover ups, apparently, still occurring with McCarrick, and others continuing through 2023, undoubtedly, with more to come, as the slow trickle of horror continues (see Maryland, France, and Illinois 2022/2023), not uncovered by the Church, but by those outside the Church,


"Means" is irrelevant, as the Church and everyone else, well knows, from vast experience. 
The only thing that is relevant is reality, as the Church, eventually, confessed within Her priest sex scandal yet, still, withheld vital secrets. 

The Church, as all of us, well knows that the Church avoided all possible means of stopping the priest sexual abuse of children and seminary students, for 80 to 700 years . . . in fact the Church made it much worse, by allowing abusers to continue their horrors, after prior discovery.

The Church knows that "means" are worthless if one chooses not to use them, as the Church did, just as She knows using "means" in EV and the CCC 2267, 1997 and 2018 amendments, are all a lie, as She proved and knows from Her priest sex horrors.

The reality is that criminal justice systems, worldwide, allow criminals to harm over and over, again, as the easiest of research, fact checking vetting confirms (4) and as the Church has well known, forever. It is time for the Church to confess that, as well.

Cases whereby the unjust aggressors harm and murder, again, in prison, after escape, after improper release and/or with no incarceration, are way too common (4)  -   the well-known factual opposite (4) of  SPJPII and the Church's incomprehensible finding that such cases are "very rare, if not practically non-existent", a factual error so profound and obvious (4) that it is clear that research, fact checking and vetting was, intentionally,  avoided in both EV and the Catechism amendments, showing a gross indifference for additional innocent victims, from repeat unjust aggressors, as detailed. (4), a repeat of the callousness in the priest sex scandal.


All villages, towns, cities, states, territories, countries and broad government unions have widely varying degrees of criminal activity, police protections and prison security. Murderers escape, harm and murder, again, in prison and are given such leeway as to murder and/or harm, again, because of "mercy" to the murderer, leniency and irresponsibility to murderers, who are released or are otherwise given the opportunity to cause catastrophic losses to the innocent, repeatedly, when such ADDITIONAL innocents are harmed and murdered by unjust aggressors, over and over, again, as detailed (4).


It is not a matter of the "means" at the State's disposal but the reality of human error and gross negligence and how that, consistently, allows known offenders to harm innocents, repeatedly, with the Church well aware, but refuses to acknowledge, just as She did, for decades, with Her priest sex horrors.

======
Incarcerated prisoners plan and commit murders, escapes, terrorism and all types of criminal activity, using proxies or cell phones in directing escapes, crimes within prisons and with free world criminal activities, inclusive of murdering witnesses, as detailed (4). 

All of this is well known by all, inclusive of the Holy See.  It is impossible not to know (4), just as with the priest sex scandal. Therefore, The Church is, knowingly, allowing this to happen, as She lies within the CCC.


Some countries are so idiotic, reckless and callous as to allow terrorists to sign pledges that they will not harm again and then they are released, bound only by their word, a worthless pledge resulting in more innocent blood (4).


The Magisterium refuses to publicly acknowledge the reality of such suffering (3&4). It is unknown why She acts in such a fashion but, it is, unconscionable and, now, a consistent and intentional pattern, 1995-2023, just as with the priest sex horrors, for 8 or 70 decades.

Here are the known realities of all unjust aggressors, murderers and other violent offenders. 

They can morally/criminally/spiritually:


1) improve, becoming slightly better, still being harmful unjust aggressors or become saints and, everything, in between.
2) Stay the same, bad for the unjust aggressors and bad for us
3) become even worse, more dangerous to all, the innocent and the unjust aggressors

Had SPJPII been interested and used research and reason, he would have concluded that innocents were better protected with the death penalty/executions (4a) and that the death penalty/execution is, therefore, a greater defender of society and innocents (4a) and, as such, EV would not have created the errors, in 1995, which were, then, wrongly put into the 1997 amendments, which led to even greater errors in 2018 (4,8)

He nor the Church cared, not one wit and as of 2023, still does not.

FOOTNOTES

1)  
Pope John Paul II: His death penalty errors 

2) 1997 amended CCC 2267: 

"Today, in fact, given the means at the State's disposal to effectively repress crime by rendering inoffensive the one who has committed it, without depriving him definitively of the possibility of redeeming himself, cases of absolute necessity for suppression of the offender 'today ... are very rare, if not practically non-existent.' [John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae 56).

Reality is important. See (fn 4,8), below.

3) with the 2018 Amendment:


" . . . a new understanding has emerged of the significance of penal sanctions imposed by the state. Lastly, more effective systems of detention have been developed, which ensure the due protection of citizens . . . ".

Complete utter nonsense (4,8).

4) THE REALITY OF "STATE PROTECTION":
     The Gross Negligence of the Holy See

The Holy See could find these types of cases every day, seemingly, forever, if She cared to look, from 1900 forward.  She does not, as She has made clear.

She could care less, as confirmed within EV and within both amended 2267s, 1997 and 2018.

It seems likely that thousands of innocents die, every day, because of the irresponsibility of prison systems allowing unjust aggressors to harm and murder, again, somehow "missed" within EV and the amended CCC 2267s, very similar to the Church's moral catastrophe of the priest sex abominations, which was, always, right in front of Her.

"Prisons and the Education of Terrorists"
Ian M. Cuthbertson, WORLD POLICY JOURNAL, FALL 2004

"The use of prisons as a means of recruiting new members into terrorist organizations while providing advanced training to existing members is hardly a new phenomenon. FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS (my emphasis), European countries have been beset by a variety of nationalist and leftist terrorist groups, some of them highly sophisticated organizations with large rosters of combat and support personnel."

" . . . terrorist groups were able to retain a large degree of cohesion within the prison setting, which they discovered to be a favorable environment for training members in new skills and planning future operations."

"Al-Qaeda and its network of associated organizations has taken full advantage of the relatively lax practices in European, and even some American, prisons. The pool of potential recruits is vast."

" . . . in October 2003, John Pistole, the FBI’s executive assistant director of counterterrorism/counterintelligence, called U.S. correctional institutions a “viable venue for radicalization and recruitment” for al-Qaeda. Harley Lappin, the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, sees the bloated prison population of disgruntled and violent inmates as being 'particularly vulnerable to recruitment by terrorists.'
