Extra Judicial Killing (EJK) or Extra Judicial Execution is the merciless killing of a
person or a group of persons by governmental authorities or individual such as Policeman and
Soldiers without any judicial proceedings or without a legal process. Some victims are innocent
and most of it are mistakenly killed.
The 5th commandment “You shall not kill” was violated in this kind of act. The person
also violated the rights of the victim to live. And also the health both physically and mentally of
the families of the victims may also be affected leading it into depression and anxiety. The
community will also be affected because of fear, it can also lead into chaos.

the persons who has higher positions than them.

a choice to not to kill the victims but they did it anyway. They may be aware of the consequences
of that act because they know the law but they are violating it.

a promotion so the act was committed.
The person/s who committed that act might have been doing that act freely for it can
boost their promotion or fame and they have a choice to kill that person or let them live another
day to repent.
They are deeply involved for they had violated the 5th commandment “You shalt not kill”
for they had taken a life which is strictly prohibited by the law of God.

IV. Mortal
The person/s who practice EJK committed a mortal sin. Because they already know the
law both on the community and the law of God that killing is a grave act. And also they have a
choice to not to kill the victim. They also committed the act with a free will so they have
committed a Mortal Sin for they killed the victims without a chance to fight for themselves.

commandment, “You shall not kill” with a choice weather to violate it or not. And also, they did
that act, killed the victims, without giving the victims a chance to defend themselves.
The government should abolish the “Oplan Double Barrel” for it just cause chaos both
the government and its people.
Divorce
I. Grave Matter
What was done:
Divorce is the termination of marriage and the cancelling of the legal duties and
responsibilities of marriage. Two people married are terminating their marriage.

teachings of the bible that if you marry a person, you should not divorce. It also violates the true
meaning of love.

effective or may have been subjected to violence and adultery is unhealthy for both sides. Before
it ends up into murder or to Tulfo, so that they decided to end their marriage. They may have
been asking for God’s guidance and they may be repenting because of the acts they did.
V. Conclusion
Divorce is bad because they swore at the altar. But if the marriage can result into
devastation, to violence and sadly, murder. It is an option. But another option is the person/s who
want to do this act should go to counseling and seek a priest to know what to do. And especially
ask for God’s assistance to know what would they do.

The government should shut down the mining companies that are mining illegally and let
those companies who obey the law continue mining responsibly.
