CNA: Vatican Changes Catechism's Teaching on Death Penalty, Calls It Inadmissible
The word "inadmissible" is sure to generate discussion about why that particular word was used -- Bergoglio's sidestepping the question of whether he is contradicting previous Roman teaching on the liceity of capital punishment, and turning it into an absolute prudential judgment with which "reasonable" people should not disagree? Or is it really a synonym for intrinsically immoral?
What do the other apostolic churches teach about capital punishment?
