Father Raymond Blake criticises on Twitter (August 3) Pope Francis' new paragraph in the Catechism of the Catholic Church which wrongly states that "the Church teaches" that death penalty is inadmissible.
Blake points out this is "historically, factually not true".

Father Blake is not a proponent of death penalty legislation.
