There are lots of people in habitual sin.  So, are sins of thought now worthy of the death penalty?  In that case, you could safely execute 95% of the earth's population.  You can't make decisions about capital punishment based on considerations like stopping them from reaching a deeper place in hell.  That's up to God.  God could strike them down whenever He chooses.  And, if He doesn't, maybe it's because He feels the person does in fact deserve a greater eternal punishment.  We are not in a position to make those kinds of decisions.  Using criteria like that to argue for capital punishment opens up a nightmarish can of worms.  Why can't I take it upon myself, then, to execute my neighbor who's a chronic blasphemer or adulterer?  Ah, he's never going to change, so let's just execute him.  But, you know what, people CAN change?  Or do you not believe in the power of God's grace?  Even the most hardened sinner can be converted.  Even if their sinful INCLINATIONS and temptations to sin never go away, they could still get to the point of regretting their actions and having sincere contrition and at least FIGHTING their sinful condition.

For the record, we just spoke to Fr. Pfeiffer a few hours ago, in person, and he does not think this about Fr. Urrutigoity.

Your statements are false.

Good luck picking up all the feathers you spread.

A woman once went for confession, accusing herself badmouthing people. The confessor, a wise old man,  listened lovingly, absolved her and gave her a strange penance. He told her to go home, get a hen and come back, plucking the bird’s feathers as she walked along the street.

When she had returned to him he said: “Now go back home and, as you go, pick up each feather that you plucked on the way.” The woman told him that it would be impossible since the wind had almost certainly blown them away in the meantime.

And the confessor told her “You see, just as it is impossible to pick up the feathers once the wind has scattered them, it is likewise impossible to gather gossip and calumnies back up once they have come out of our mouth.”
