FARGO, N.D. — A small group of Catholic nuns dedicated to eliminating the death penalty is working to spare the life of a man convicted of kidnapping and killing a University of North Dakota student.

The Congregation of St. Joseph is an order of about a dozen nuns in Crookston, Minn., which is the hometown of Alfonso Rodriguez Jr.

Rodriguez is on death row at a federal prison for the 2003 killing of Dru Sjodin, of Pequot Lakes, Minn.


Sister Pat Murphy tells KFGO radio she has never talked publicly about the death penalty and realizes her opinion is unpopular, even within her own family.

Murphy has written letters to U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson, who sentenced Rodriguez to death. Erickson's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

When you asked what was wrong with the Catholic Church, I def didn't expect this when I opened this thread. I mean of all the things...

No surprise really.... The Catholic church has defended and protected the pedophile priests for years, so what's the surprise that they defend a killer that defiled a young woman too?
And I 2nd the "why is this guy even breathing"? He should have been executed 10 years ago.

Well, the Church's position is more along the lines of: can't save babies the abortion mill if you're going to fry the bad one's in a chair.

This is not a defense of the Church's position. Only an answer to the OPs question.

What is a 3rd degree knight?

My prison knowledge is based off Orange is the New Black, but aren't rapist/killers supposed to get shived in prison?

Sister Murphy is acting upon her strong personal convictions despite the adversity it presents. I wonder how many others of her faith agree with or support her.

I don't agree with her at all, but I do salute her passion for following her heart.

Rodriquez should have been fried and his ashes used as fertilizer....at least he would have given something useful back to society.

Knight=Knights of Columbus

It's some really retarded shit, very, very comical being a member and watching a bunch of senior citizens play cloak and dagger.

When did the church become so goddamn political? JFK?

I love how instead of helping single mothers and supporting them because they chose the more difficult path Catholics would rather protest abortion cinics.

Of all things these nuns should be worried about it's this shit? Why not spend some time helping the families that were abused instead of making a political stance.

You think the church got political with JFK?

Jesus Freakin' Kreist~ grab a history book. The Christians have been political for about 2,000 years. If you include Jewish, Muslim, and any other pre-JC religions your talking eons. Whole political systems are based on religious dogma: it's why the the Middle East is a such a cluster.
