Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington state has issued a moratorium or temporary prohibition on executions, drawing praise from a priest who has written against the death penalty. “This is a step in the right direction,” Monsignor Stuart Swetland told CNA Feb. 12. “The bishops of the United States…have said that there are no conditions under which the death penalty should be used.”

“We hope for the banning of the death penalty in every state,” said Msgr. Swetland, a professor of Christian ethics at Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

(...) 
Msgr. Swetland said that the Catechism of the Catholic Church is “quite clear” about conditions when prisoners can be incarcerated in a way that they will not threaten innocent life. “

“Not only does it state that the death penalty should not be used, but that it must not be used in those cases,” he said.
