In this episode of Deacons Pod, Deacon Mike Hayes and Deacon Patrick Murphy-Racey, both of whom are Paulist Deacon Affiliates, have a conversation about some recent issues in the news.

They begin by discussing the failed execution on September 30, 2026, of convicted murderer Christa Pike in Tennessee.

“If we ever wanted a case to show that capital punishment is stupid, let’s just start here,” says Deacon Mike. “There is a difference between justice and revenge. And revenge never solves anything.”
