@nimh,
Only we Catholics have kept the pericope of the Adultress as Scripture (Ehrmann calls this the most popular of all pericopes, from his experience) and Jesus there resists the hardest of all violences to resist, that which invokes the law.
So the answer is 'NO'
Though another book (ony preserved by Catholics, Judith) does show that civil authority can bring about public enemies such as a Hitler of our day, And that is justice for sure.
But I am a Catholic and atheists on here are so afraid of Catholic clarity thaty they use words like 'religionS' [plural] so they can create a mishmosh that has NO adherents.
