The Popes and The U.S. Bishops
– “God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else—God is in this person’s life.? Pope Francis, Nov. 15, 2019.

– “A Catholic approach begins with the recognition that the dignity of the human person applies to both victim and offender.? US Bishops’ Nov. 15, 2000 Pastoral Letter: “Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice.?
