At Soujourners, Jim Wallis interviews Richard Viguerie, who has been called “the funding father of the conservative movement,” on the issue of the death penalty and prison reform. Viguerie, a devout Catholic, is morally opposed to the death penalty. He finds fault in both the Democratic and Republican stances on the “life issue”: “My position is you shouldn’t be killing anybody before or after they’re born. There are very few people on the Left or the Right who take that position.”
