Salvatore Natoli on Fratelli Tutti

If there is any charity to be applied, it is regarding Francis' intention -- one can believe he is not being deliberately ambiguous to confuse and obfuscate, but his theological habitus is just muddled. But given the clarity that often shows up in his tweets, even this interpretation may be tenuous.

A Liberal Could Agree With This

At least the love part, and the consequence that we should not use capital punishment.
The Holy Father does not directly engage the long-established tradition that recognizes its legitimacy; he instead moves beyond, appealing to a tradition within the Church which transcends bare moral truth, to love beyond the minimal, especially when it comes to something that so cuts off the other.

This is not a “change” in Church teaching any more than “love thy neighbor” is a “change” from “the Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked.” Opposing the death penalty is to love despite and beyond any underlying moral truth, which by itself would be inadequate in expressing Christ’s unending outpouring of forgiveness and mercy.
It really isn't more than an attempt to side-step the clear theological problem for the sake of preserving Latin claims about Roman primacy.
