Ethics
Mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I don't believe in the death penalty at all. On the other, the world can get by quite well without someone like Geoghan, a vile betrayer of trust and a murderer himself in all but the actual deed. Molestation and abuse is in essence spiritual murder. I know. It happened to me.
Sex abuse priest killed in prison.
While my intellect says that this was wrong, my heart tells me that Joseph Druce did the world, and potentially a lot of children, a favor.
