Highlight is mine. You do not have to admit to the world to gain pardon and absolution.
What the priest gives her as penance is none of our business.

I wish she would have got jail. I never wish for anyone to die. And i don’t think the death penalty is right. NO ONE should be able to decide the end of someone’s time here on earth! I really feel sorry for Caylee but she’s in heaven with God and i bet she loves it up there. I pray for Casey that God has mercy on her soul…I Wish people wouldn’t do things that God has to punish them with hell…
…My favorite prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. AMEN.

I don’t think killing a child is something that can be forgiven by God.

Sure! Like “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Jn 8:7

You are so right to say that she should not make one dime from her crime. Let’s all remember that when her horrendously inappropriate book, movie, or whatever goes public and we are tempted to buy it. Let’s honor Caylee’s memory by not subsidizing her mother’s greed.

If casey anthony WERE sorry,(not very likely for a sociopath) then she would WANT to serve the time for her crime. She would want to make amends.
Death penalty… a good thing.

Yes! Judgement is not my job, but it should be the judicial system’s! I think one of the reasons I’d like to see Mommy Dearest Casey punished in this lifetime is that I’m afraid other young mothers are led to believe that they also can get away with murdering their young, covering it up, lying to police, etc. The only real deterrent for the non-believer is punishment in this life since they don’t believe in the next life.If casey anthony WERE sorry,(not very likely for a sociopath) then she would WANT to serve the time for her crime. She would want to make amends.

Howdy.
I was wondering, how do we KNOW a “sociopath”, as distinct from
a deliberate sinner who simply has not (at least not YET) repented
of her very serious Sin???
Casey Anthony apparently deliberately killed her own child.
But what about women, including some Catholic women,
who have deliberately had an abortion or abortionS, and then years later
repented of this? Do we as Catholics insist that these women, who have also
killed their own children, be thrown in prison?
Do we even regard them as “criminals” or killers?
A lot of time, the pro-Life movement talks a lot about all the women
who “have been hurt by” abortion, showing them compassion and tenderness,
instead of calling them child killers. ( I am not against this kind of compassion,
I just note the seeming double standard here, the only difference being that
the victims of abortion have not yet exited the birth canal, whereas little
Caylee Anthony HAD ). I do think, however, that it is especially hard-hearted
for a parent to deliberately kill a tiny child with whom she has been interacting every day for two years, and which child looks up to her.
If these women (who have had abortions), after they have repented, do not express a desire to “serve time” for what they did, does that mean that they are really NOT sorry for having had their abortions (killed their children)? Does it mean that they are Sociopaths?
We have to be careful here. Casey Anthony may well be a person whose conscience
has been seared. Or, that “stone face” she exhibits may just be a “front,” a coping device. Deep down, she may still have a conscience, and it may be KILLING her. We just don’t know. I hope she does, and I hope she repents.
But I have looked up the term sociopath, and some websites make the claim that
a “sociopath” is a person who was born that way, and was “born WITHOUT a Soul.”
Now, we Catholics know better than that.
There is NO person who has been born “without a Soul.”
God love all of you.

**???
We HAVE to follow the law. Should I go 80 miles an hour down a 30 zone and then ask for forgiveness instead of punishment? I don’t think the cop would see it that way.
One more thing the bible is ok with the death penalty. **
Hi Lisa, your points are well-taken. We have to have laws.
And “the bible is ok with the death penalty”
---- Of course it is, and we are ALL under the sentence of temporal death.
And yes, the bible prescribes the death penalty for a variety of sins.
But I will point out
that there are many instances in the same Bible of
people who DESERVED the death penalty Many-Times-Over
(like King Manasseh, who was even much WORSE than Casey Anthony)
and who were SPARED that penalty, and even sometimes restored
to positions of power and trust by GOD HIMSELF (His ways are Mysterious).
So the death penalty, while prescribed, was
frequently not applied, even by God, even in the Bible.
God bless you, Lisa.

hi guys/gals
Regarding women and abortions…abortion rights are protected under the law. I DO NOT AGREE WITH ABORTION… Just getting that out there. BUT
women have a constitutional right to an abortion, so thus no legal punishment on THIS earth, sadly.
Death Penalty,is approved by the church. Whether or not a state uses it, it is approved and anyone who assists in the application of the death penalty is NOT sinning.
One more thing, what about all the soldiers murdered in war, ANY war. It is approved by the church to partake in war, but not abortion. Go figure. A life is a life.
GOD BLESS …

Re death penalty, the Church teaches that:
Today, the shepherds find the death penalty absolutely uncalled-for.

the church’s stand on the death penalty has not changed. May be used in cases of heinous crimes to protect society.
