Welcoming that no executions have been carried out in the Greater Caribbean since 2008, and that the number of death sentences imposed in the region has been declining,
Dear friends and participants at this International Conference entitled: “The Death Penalty in the context of Public Security: Neither right nor Effective.” I would have liked to be here with you to add my “two cents” to the public debate on the death Penalty, unfortunately matters of the clergy have me occupied and I am unable to attend.
I would like to say however, from the very outset, that I stand with Francis bishop of Rome on this issue.
