With Florida set to execute a convicted killer in just two weeks, Pope Francis has come out with a new message about the death penalty.
A change to the Catechism of the Catholic Church now says the death penalty is "inadmissible." The change states that execution is an attack on the dignity of all humans.
Before this new edict, the church allowed capital punishment if it was the only way to defend people against an "unjust aggressor."
Jose Antonio Jimenez is scheduled for a lethal injection on Aug. 14th for two murders in Miami-Dade in the 1990s.
