John B. Nixon, Sr. was murdered by lethal injection at Parchment Penitentiary in Mississippi yesterday on behalf of a justice system which is inconsistent.
Mr. Nixon is the seventh Mississippian to be murdered on behalf of the State since capital punishment resumed here in 1976.
Our prayers are with the families of Mr. Nixon's victims as well as his family.
We agree with the Vatican spokesman who said that capital punishment is wrong because it denies redemption and does not uphold the dignity of human life.

Amen!
Jimmy Carter has a great book out "Endangered Values" It is the first of his books I've read and I am very impressed. He does a great job with capital punishment. Worth the read.
