Do the Francis & so-called "New Natural Law" Theorist Brugger Death Penalty teachings have Abortion, COVID & Serial Murderer/Rapist Ted Bundy Deadly Implications?
Ted Bundy victims: Who were the women ...
Who lives and who dies? Health care rationing at a time of ...
Not only is Francis unambiguously professing the material heresy that "the death penalty is inadmissible" which apparently will promote more abortions, but on top of that, he wants to let loose the Ted Bundys to rape and kill or else he is senile or so out of touch with reality that he thinks serial rapist and murderers are miraculously going to stop raping and killing.
[Francis's material heresy:http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2018/08/unambiguously-pope-francis-formally.html?m=1]
Bundy was a serial murderer and rapist who, also, tortured the victims and even engaged in necrophilia with their bodies.
If Ted Bundy had not received the death penalty and was instead given a sentence of life imprisonment would Francis want Bundy set free?
In 2014 and now in 2018 Francis said:
- "[T]he Magisterium of the Church believes that perpetual punishment [life imprisonment], which removes the possibility of moral and existential redemption for the benefit of the condemned person and the community, is a form of hidden death penalty.”

Francis said: "A life sentence is just a death penalty in disguise." (edwardfeser.blogspot, "The curious case of Pope Francis and the 'new natural lawyers,'" June 3, 2017) - The Catholic Monitor
"This raises the question of whether Pope Francis or his collaborators would like at some point to take advantage of another implication of Grisez’s position. Grisez’s view is that it is intrinsically wrong to intend to take a life, and that this is always wrong (even in a just war). On the other hand, it would be permissible to remove anon-viable fetus from the womb, if the intention was not to kill but to remove the fetus from the womb for the sake of the mother’s health. Indeed, to facilitate this removal, it would be permissible to cut the fetus into pieces first.
(See Germain Grisez ‘Towards a consistent Natural-Law ethics of killing’ American Journal of Jurisprudence 15 (1970) p4; cf. Finnis, Boyle, and Grisez Nuclear Deterrence, Morality and Realism (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1987) p311)"
"This view was condemned by Pope St John Paul II in Evangelium vitae 62 (cf. §§40,
60, 63). It should be emphasised that Grisez and his collaborators accepted the
position of Evangelium vitae as binding on Catholics.
"The condemnation of the death penalty in all circumstance could be part of a
strategy to adopt this understanding of a consistent pro-life ethic [seamless garment]. While it looks at first like a very strong ‘pro-life’ position, it allows so-called ‘therapeutic abortion’ [and allowing the death of the most vulnerable Coronavirus patients?], and adopting it would enable the Church to make an enormous concession to the practice of abortion."
"Is should be noted that the great majority of abortions are carried out under the justification of the ‘health of the mother’, whether physical or mental, and while Grisez would insist that few could be truly justified on his theory, it would not be easy
for legislators to distinguish which were and which were not. The practical result of
adopting this approach would be the end of the Catholic campaign against legal
abortion, and the resolution of the confrontation between the Church and the world on this most explosive of issues."
"In short, the implications for the pro-life movement would be catastrophic."
(LifeSiteNews interview on the ‘Death Penalty’ address of Pope Francis with Dr.
Joseph Shaw, Oxford professor, October 20, 2017) - The Catholic Monitor
So-called "New Natural Law" theorist E. Christian Brugger who supports the Francis teaching against the death penalty "according to Catholic principles" wrote:
"[S]ub-populations may be prioritized... in coronavirus management."
(Aleteia, "Who lives and who dies? Health care rationing at a time of crisis according to Catholic principles," March 28, 2020)
Might the "Catholic principles" which Brugger teaches be heretical since they apparently come from Brugger's problematic mentors: John Finnis and Germain Grisez?
Do this so-called "Catholic principles" have implications on abortion and "prioritizing" medical assistance to the most vulnerable patients with COVID?
But, first is Francis apparently teaching heresy in the following statement according to Doctor of the Church St. Robert Bellarmine that contradicts the "teachings of scripture, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and previous popes":
“[T]he Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that death penalty is always inadmissible for the Church is attentive to the inviolability and dignity of the person... the Magisterium of the Church believes that perpetual punishment [life imprisonment], which removes the possibility of moral and existential redemption for the benefit of the condemned person and the community, is a form of hidden death penalty.”

Renowned Catholic philosopher Edward Feser explains why the Francis teaching is Orwellian error, contradicts past teachings and is judged "heretical" by a Doctor of the Church:
"[Doctor of the Church] Bellarmine judged it 'heretical' to maintain that Christians cannot in theory apply capital punishment."
"... Pope Francis, by contrast, wants the Catechism to teach that capital punishment ought never to be used... he justifies this change not on prudential grounds, but 'so as to better reflect the development of doctrine.'"
"... Nor does the letter from the CDF [Francis's Vatican doctrine office] explain how the new teaching can be consistent with the teaching of scripture, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and previous popes. Merely asserting the new language "develops" rather than "contradicts" past teachings does not make it so. The CDF is not Orwell's Ministry of Truth, and a pope is not Humpty Dumpty, able by fiat to make words mean whatever he wants them to. Slapping the label "development" onto a contradiction doesn't transform it into a non-contradiction."
(First Things, "Pope Francis and Capital Punishment," August 3, 2018)
Moreover, Feser shows that it is "analogous to denying the doctrine that there are three divine Persons":
"Once again the Pope both appears to condemn capital punishment as intrinsically wrong and claims that his remarks are consistent with past teaching. He tries to justify the claim that there is no inconsistency by saying that the Church has always affirmed the dignity of life. But this is analogous to denying the doctrine that there are three divine Persons and then claiming that this is consistent with past teaching, on the grounds that the Church has always affirmed that there is only one God. In fact, the doctrine of the Trinity requires us to say both that there is only one God and that there are three Persons in God. Similarly, consistency with scripture and previous papal teaching requires us to say both that life has dignity but also that an offender can in principle lose the right to his life. To fail to affirm both of these things is precisely to contradict past teaching, not 'develop' it."

Heresy in itself is a great evil, but this apparently erroneous teaching could, also, bring about the evil of promoting more abortions and more deaths to the most vulnerable COVID patients while claiming to be "pro-life."
Dr. Joseph Shaw, as early as October 20, 2017, showed how the Francis's death penalty heresy plays into the abortionist game plan with "implications for the pro-life movement [that] would be catastrophic":
"The Pope speaks in this address with a level of technical precision not always
to be found in his remarks. He says:"
'It is per se contrary to the Gospel, because it entails the willful suppression of a
human life that never ceases to be sacred in the eyes of its Creator and of which –
ultimately – only God is the true judge and guarantor.'
"This logically implies that the 'willful suppression of life' in self-defence and war is also always and everywhere ruled out."
"This aligns his position with that made famous by the American theologian Prof
Germain Grisez (who, as a matter of fact, wrote an open letter to Pope Francis
protesting about the undermining of the teaching of the Church on marriage, with his longstanding collaborator Prof John Finnis). Grisez argues that warfare is morally possible if we think of soldiers not intending to kill, but intending to incapacitate."
"This raises the question of whether Pope Francis or his collaborators would like at some point to take advantage of another implication of Grisez’s position. Grisez’s view is that it is intrinsically wrong to intend to take a life, and that this is always wrong (even in a just war). On the other hand, it would be permissible to remove anon-viable fetus from the womb, if the intention was not to kill but to remove the fetus from the womb for the sake of the mother’s health. Indeed, to facilitate this removal, it would be permissible to cut the fetus into pieces first.

"This view was condemned by Pope St John Paul II in Evangelium vitae 62 (cf. §§40,
60, 63). It should be emphasised that Grisez and his collaborators accepted the
position of Evangelium vitae as binding on Catholics.
"The condemnation of the death penalty in all circumstance could be part of a

Pray for Francis because something appears to be seriously wrong with the poor man if he wants to free dangerous criminals and serial predators from prison to kill and rape innocent people.
Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis's Amoris Laetitia.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost - Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
- Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said "the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church."
