Deep dives

The Shift from Retributive to Restorative Justice

Retributive justice, defined as punishment that emphasizes wrath and violence, risks trapping individuals in despair and hopelessness. In contrast, restorative justice encourages healing and the potential for rebirth, likened to a resurrection that promotes transformation and growth. Discussion around Pope Francis highlights his dedication to mercy over punishment, suggesting a shift within the Catholic Church towards a more compassionate approach to justice. This paradigm shift not only influences individual perspectives but also extends to systemic changes that prioritize healing over retribution for all marginalized communities.

I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.
