Did You Know?
Anonymous writes, “I heard that Pope
Francis told the UN they should ban all
nuclear weapons. If that is true, he should
stick to religious matters. Popes have no
business sticking their noses in politics.”
“Your information is correct. The Pope told the UN
the time for talking is over. He said it is time for us to
walk Jesus’s talk.
Pope Francis is who he should be: a man of peace.”
According to a national poll, more Americans still
favor the death penalty than oppose it. But, the number
of supporters is the fewest in more than 20 years.
FAVOR THE DEATH PENALTY 1994 2016
80% 49%
