Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who oversees pastoral care for Catholics in the United States military, condemned the plan to execute Nidal Hasan by firing squad and broadcast it live.

负责监督美国军队天主教徒牧灵服务的蒂莫西·布罗利奥大主教谴责了拟对尼达尔·哈桑执行枪决并进行直播的计划。

In a statement on Monday, Broglio also stipulated that any Catholic soldier assigned to the U.S. Army firing squad should request to be excused from that duty, which he said contradicts Church teaching.

布罗利奥在周一的一份声明中还规定,任何被分配到美国陆军行刑队的天主教士兵都应请求免除该职务,他称这与教会教义相悖。

Along with other Catholic leaders, he has publicly opposed both the death penalty and the plan to broadcast it live.

他与其他天主教领袖一道,公开反对死刑和直播计划。

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 and is scheduled to be executed by firing squad on December 3.

哈桑是一名陆军精神科医生,因2009年在德克萨斯州胡德堡杀害13人而被定罪,定于12月3日被行刑队处决。

Broglio recalled that he had presided over the funeral of Michael Grant Cahill, who was the only civilian killed in that attack.

布罗利奥回忆说,他曾主持了迈克尔·格兰特·卡希尔的葬礼,而卡希尔是那次袭击中唯一被杀害的平民。

Brolio asked, "The crimes Hassan committed were horrifying, but what purpose does it actually serve to execute him in public?"

布罗利奥问道,哈桑所犯的罪行“令人发指,但将其处决公之于众究竟有何目的?”

Broglio further pointed out: "The US military has traditionally enjoyed a fairly good reputation internationally."

布罗利奥进一步指出:“美国军队在国际上素来享有颇为良好的声誉。”

"However, is there really any practical point in broadcasting images of a man in a wheelchair being executed far and wide across the globe, thereby equating them with terrorists?"

“然而,将一名坐在轮椅上的人遭到处决的画面向全球广为传播,借此把他们与恐怖分子相提并论,这样做究竟是否具有实际意义?”
