    I imagine it depends highly on what church and which hangman, since, at least with an American perspective, churches are scattered across basically any ideology you can think of, and people have been hung for any reason under the sun as well.

      “The Church” has traditionally referred to the Roman Catholic Church, especially in historical contexts.

        I mean, if we do it that way they’re pretty openly against the act and probably consider it a pretty major sin for the active participants but that’s less fun than having it be an open ended question.

      It’s not the hangman’s job to determine the reason though, just to carry it out.

        Well we really get into the weeds with that one, don’t we? ISIS had executioners, the United States plenty as well, as did the inquisition. Do we imagine a god which weighed their motives equally?
