[[Conservative]] on most political issues, Pope Benedict was [[liberal]] on two prior to becoming pope: [[evolution]] and [[capital punishment]]. On both issues he pushed the [[Roman Catholic Church]] leftward, the former by writing a speech that [[Pope John Paul II]] gave, and the latter by unjustifiably shifting Church doctrine against use of the death penalty.
