This is RCT number 68, the reception of the Eucharist. RCT stands for the Roman Catechism of Trent.

Today we are on pages 261 to 269. This is the sacraments, episode 20. God grant you his peace.

And nominipatri saffili at speedi to santi, amen. O heavenly king, comfort her spirit of truth, who are

everywhere present, and fillest all things, treasury of good things, and giver of life, come and dwell in us,

and cleanse us of all impurity, and save our souls, O good one. In nomi Pachry, Cifidi, at Spiti

Tusi Tusi, amen. Now many of you may have seen the recent

doctrinal fiasco where a certain somebody in Rome said that if you believe in the death penalty,

you are not pro-life. Well, this topic goes back a little bit earlier than him. But one of the

reasons why we do the Roman catechism of Trent is because we know we're going to get a solid answer.

The new catechism has flip-flopped numerous times on the death penalty.

We do know, as I've said many times on this podcast, that a Pope, who lived after the production of RCT, declared that the Roman Catechism of Trent was infallible.

Now, later catechisms, like the one that came out in 1993, Pope John Paul II, said it was a sure norm, but he never said it was infallible.

And I think this is one reason why we've seen it flip-flop so many times on the death penalty.

And what is the Catholic Church is teaching on the death penalty that it is allowed and even encouraged for the state to do to proven criminals who meet a certain level of

crime that we won't get into on this podcast, of course, because there's often little ears listening.

But we do know it's in the Bible and 250 plus popes have promoted the death penalty.

And so we certainly know that this is magisterial.

And so anybody that says you're not pro-life because you believe in the death penalty is going

against Catholic Church teaching.

Now, when I put that up on X, some people push back with screenshots of the new catechism and said, well, you're not following your own magisterium. Well, yes, I am. I'm following the Roman Catechism of Trent, again, the only one that's infallible, which also reflects the Bible. So on this topic of the death penalty, either we trust the Roman Catechism of Trent that reflects the Bible, the church fathers, 250 plus popes,

all promoting the death penalty for certain criminals, at least at the hands of the state.

Or we trust the new flip-flopping, constantly changing doctrines that has been changing
