About this sermon
With less than 24 hours until the scheduled execution of Curtis Windom in Florida, many are speaking out. Windom, a Black man on death row for over 30 years, was sentenced by a non-unanimous jury despite the Florida Supreme Court's acknowledgment of withheld evidence of mental illness and brain damage. Curtis Windom was convicted of killing three people and shooting a fourth in 1992. His daughter—an infant at the time of the crime—is now pleading for clemency. Deacon George Kain, of the Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut, is among those standing up against the practice of capital punishment. He is working to halt Windom's execution. Deacon George Kain joins to explain why he’s working to stop the execution and reflects on his own journey of conversion—from supporting the death penalty to becoming an abolition advocate. He also shares why, as Catholics, we are called to defend and protect life from conception to natural death, and he responds to those who consider the death penalty consistent with justice. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
