Why the Death Penalty Has No Place in a Pro-Life Faith

In this episode, Sister Elizabeth speaks with Heidi Moore, longtime advocate for the abolition of the death penalty and a Catholic convert whose faith was shaped through service to incarcerated men. Drawing on Catholic social teaching, personal testimony, and firsthand experience inside Missouri’s prison system, Heidi unpacks the moral, legal, and human costs of capital punishment. This episode invites listeners to wrestle honestly with mercy, justice, and the Church’s call to protect human dignity—without exceptions.
