About this photo
The focus is Pope Leo XIV, shown in a small circular profile picture waving. He is speaking at a podium. The mood is official and serious. The image is a screenshot of a social media post. ON-SCREEN TEXT: Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex · 5h The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty 10K 9.5K 51K 2.7M
