POPE Francis has declared the death penalty “inadmissable” in an update of Catholic believers’ most important guide to Church teaching, the catechism, the Vatican announced on Thursday.

“The Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that ‘the death penalty is inadmissable because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person’,” the new text states.

Francis approved the change to the catechism, which covers a wide range of moral and social issues, during a meeting in May with the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Church’s doctrinal watchdog.

The update also says that the Church will “work with determination” for the abolition of the death penalty worldwide.
