Season 2, Episode 11 - The Catholic Files: Part Five of the 10 Commandments

The Catholic Files with Fr. Donnelly
Pastor of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Madison, Ohio

In this deeply moving episode of The Catholic Files, Fr. Donnelly continues our Ten Commandments series with Part 5: “Thou Shall Not Kill.” This commandment, simple in words yet vast in meaning, calls us to defend and honor the sacred gift of life from conception to natural death.

Fr. Donnelly addresses the many ways our modern world has grown numb to the value of life through abortion, suicide, violence, and the endless wars that scar humanity. In a culture that often tries to justify or disguise these evils, this episode reminds us that every human life is precious, created in the image of God, and that the taking of innocent life wounds not only the body, but the soul of society itself.

With wisdom, compassion, and clarity, Fr. Donnelly invites listeners to look beyond condemnation and discover God’s call to conversion, mercy, and healing. He explores how “Thou Shall Not Kill” extends beyond the act itself into our thoughts, our anger, our indifference, and even our silence in the face of evil.

This is more than a commandment it is a summons to love, to protect, and to restore the dignity of every human life, especially the most vulnerable.
