If you don't believe in public ex*****ons, you might really love the sin more than the sinner. Pete Hegseth has more Bible in his little finger than most pastors have in their entire frame.

Before the ex*****on of Bryan Sheehan in Salem, Massachusetts in January of 1772, Pastor James Diman gave a 24 page "ex*****on sermon" to both the congregation and the condemned. The pastor even included a description of his actions..

"It appeared on his trial that [Bryan] went up, in the middle of the night, to the room where Mrs. Hollowell lay, found her asleep, awakened her, and swore, if she made the least noise, he would kill her; and then stopping her mouth, perpetrated the atrocious crime..."

Sheehan was suspected of similar crimes in the past, and he refused to confess, or repent. On this score, Pastor Diman had these remarks..

“..God has expressly told us, that unless a sinner repents, he shall perish. But have you repented? I wish—heartily wish, I could tell you, I really thought you were a true penitent; but I am constrained to say, thus much at least, that I stand in great doubt of you. I think you have not, as yet, discovered sufficient marks of real repentance. You have not appeared to have that lively sense of your sin and danger, and of the great things of religion, and another world, which might reasonably be expected, from one in your circumstances. And what is most discouraging of all is, your denying the main fact, for which you are condemned; though it was proved to the full satisfaction both of the Judges and Jury, and almost all who heard your trial. And if you have not repented, but still lie under the guilt of all your sins—how sad is your case!—How awful your condition!—Within a few hours of death and the eternal world; and in a temper of mind, fit only for the company of devils and damned spirits in hell.”

Executions of this sort were so rare that according to some reports 10,000 people arrived to see Sheehan hanged.

(I think we like to think ourselves "advanced" for avoiding such awful finality, and such pastoral condemnation, but you have to wonder: doesn't the law have some role in teaching everyone -- men, women, and children -- the consequences of gross crime? Haven't we stepped backwards, instead of forward?)
