天主教徒在美国陆军服役不应参加行刑队，著名大主教表示 由菲尔·斯图尔特和约书亚·麦克尔维报道 华盛顿，10月12日 - 一位著名的美国大主教周一表示，在美国陆军服役的天主教徒不应参与对德州胡德堡枪击案凶手尼达尔·哈桑的行刑队执行，五角大楼计划于12月进行直播。
Catholics in US Army must not participate in firing squad, prominent archbishop says By Phil Stewart and Joshua McElwee WASHINGTON, Oct 12 - Catholics serving in the US Army should not participate in the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan that the Pentagon is planning to livestream in December, a prominent US archbishop said on Monday.
在一份措辞异常强硬的声明中，负责监督美国武装部队天主教成员精神关怀的大主教蒂莫西·布罗格利奥提出了一系列对前所未有的计划的反对意见，该计划旨在直播哈桑的处决。哈桑于2009年在德州胡德堡发动枪击暴行，造成13人死亡。
In an unusually strongly worded statement, Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who oversees the spiritual care of Catholic members of the US armed forces, raised a series of objections to the unprecedented plan to broadcast the execution of Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in a 2009 shooting spree.
布罗格利奥表示，他曾主持过哈桑的一名受害者的葬礼，并对该事件表示哀悼。但这位出生于俄亥俄州的大主教质疑美国是否想要“效仿世界上的恐怖分子，并公开展示对敌人的野蛮杀戮。”布罗格利奥说：“我敦促任何被分配到行刑队的天主教徒申请免除这一违背教会教义的行动。”
Broglio said he presided at the funeral of one of Hasan's victims, and lamented the shooting. But the Ohio-born archbishop asked whether the US wanted to "imitate the terrorists of this world and make a public spectacle of barbarically killing our adversaries." "I oblige any Catholics assigned to the firing squad to request to be excused from this action contrary to the teaching of the Church," Broglio said.
美国陆军条例确实允许士兵申请宗教豁免或便利安排，但陆军尚未说明其打算如何挑选行刑队成员。
US Army regulations do allow for soldiers to request religious exemptions or accommodations, and the Army has yet to say how it intends to select members of the firing squad.
对年轻观众的影响 美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞思上周宣布计划直播该枪击事件，引发国会共和党人、宗教领袖和国际观察者的反对。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普批准了对哈桑实施行刑队处决，但表示他仍在决定是否允许直播进行。
QUESTIONS EFFECT ON YOUNG VIEWERS US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans to livestream the shooting last week, triggering a backlash among Republicans in Congress, religious leaders and international observers. US President Donald Trump approved Hasan's execution by firing squad but has said he is still deciding whether to allow the livestreaming to proceed.
即使对于一个长期采用死刑的国家来说，这一事件也将是前所未有的。根据死刑专家的说法，政府处决从未被广播或直播过，且美国军队自1945年以来尚未使用行刑队处决过任何人。如今56岁的哈桑因在被捕时被警察击中而需要轮椅。
The event would be extraordinary, even for a country that has long employed capital punishment. A government execution has never been broadcast or livestreamed, according to death penalty experts, and the US military has not executed anyone by firing squad since 1945. Hasan, now 56, requires a wheelchair, having been shot by police during his arrest.
赫格塞斯上周表示，他希望美军在哈桑发动枪击事件的时间、星期几和地点执行死刑。赫格塞斯认为，公开此事将有助于起到威慑作用。
Hegseth said last week he wants US soldiers to execute Hasan at the time, day of the week and location of Hasan's shooting spree. Hegseth has argued that making the event public will help serve as a deterrent.
布罗格利质疑是否考虑过直播处决对年轻观众的影响。他表示，美军一直享有良好声誉，并质疑“通过向全世界直播一名坐轮椅男子的处决画面，把他们和恐怖分子绑在一起，真的有价值吗？”布罗格利的声明是在他在周一于罗马与教皇利奥会面后不久发布的。教皇利奥曾因包括伊朗战争在内的议题与特朗普及其五角大楼发生冲突。利奥在周六谴责了死刑，但未具体提及哈桑案。
Broglio questioned whether the effect of a livestreamed execution on young viewers had been considered. He said the US military had a good reputation and asked if there was "really a value to throwing them in the same boat with terrorists by broadcasting the image of the execution of a man in a wheelchair to the whole world." Broglio's statement was issued shortly after he met on Monday in Rome with Pope Leo, who has clashed with Trump and his Pentagon over issues including the Iran war. Leo on Saturday condemned the death penalty, without mentioning the Hasan case specifically.
副总统JD·万斯，一名天主教信徒，表示如果最终真的进行直播，他不会观看。
Vice President JD Vance, a convert to Catholicism, has said that if it does ultimately get livestreamed, he would not watch it.
