The church teaches only God has the right to take a life. We have no right to say somebody should die or somebody should live. Violence does not bring peace, it only results in more violence. By setting a loving example, peace can be possible. Love is the only thing that can stop hatred.
All people deserve mercy and the chance to repent.
We are all created equal. We are told we have differences but these differences make us beautiful. Such as parts of a body, they look different, but they are all important.
Life begins at conception. The church advocates for pro-life. Expecting parents have other options such as adoption if they feel they are not ready for a child. The church teaches that they will accept any children that are unwanted and they will gladly find a home for those babies that deserve the chance to live. All people are to live and die naturally without assistance from others. Only God can call a person back home to Him.

"As a gift from God, every human life is sacred from conception to natural death. The life and dignity of every person must be respected and protected at every stage and in every condition. The right to life is the first and most fundamental principle of human rights that leads Catholics to actively work for a world of greater respect for human life and greater commitment to justice and peace." Usccb Human Life and dignity

"Racism is an evil which endures in our society and in our Church. Despite apparent advances and even significant changes in the last two decades, the reality of racism remains. In large part it is only external appearances which have changed. In 1958 we spoke out against the blatant forms of racism that divided people through discriminatory laws and enforced segregation. We pointed out the moral evil that denied human persons their dignity as children of God and their God-given rights." -Brothers and Sisters to Us

“What we believe, where we are, and how we live out our faith can make a great difference in the struggle against violence. We see the loss of lives. We serve the victims. We feel the fear. We must confront this growing culture of violence with a commitment to life, a vision of hope and a call to action.”---Confronting a Culture of Violence: A Catholic Framework for Action,1994 Pastoral Message of the U.S. Catholic Bishops.

Genesis 9:1-3"Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything."
