Governor Pardons Mease After Pope Plea in Missouri
Governor Mel Carnahan commutes the death sentence of triple murderer Darrel Mease after a face to face plea from Pope John Paul II. The decision, amid political risk in a state favoring capital punishment, follows years of Mease on Missouri’s death row and a papal visit framing clemency as a mercy gesture. The Vatican praised the move while lawmakers debated the political implications for future capital cases.

Religion Briefs Ceremony Leads to Charges in Nashville
United Methodist Church members filed ecclesiastical charges against Rev. David M. Holmes one of about 150 ministers who blessed a lesbian couple in Sacramento on January 16. The charges were filed with Bishop Charles Jordan of Des Moines after Sacramento’s Bishop Melvin Talbert spoke with his cabinet on January 21. The case hinges on a church ruling that bans same sex blessings in the Book of Discipline.
