Join RENEW International and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, for a conversation with Cardinal Wilton Gregory, archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, and Sister Helen Prejean, as they discuss the death penalty in the United States and what current Church teaching has to say about this subject.
Cardinal Gregory has written extensively on a consistent ethic of life and life issues, including pastoral statements on the death penalty, racial justice, and euthanasia/physician-assisted suicide.
Sister Helen Prejean is an outspoken advocate for abolishing the death penalty in the United States and is best known for her book, Dead Man Walking, which was turned into a feature film.
