:::Actually heretics ''were'' threatening lives, ''spiritual'' lives or people's souls. Maybe your claim in your last paragraph is correct (I don't know) but are you saying the Catechism does not accurately represent the teachings of the Church??

::::Good point about heretics. But the basic point is this: for 2000 years Christianity had no objection to the death penalty. Not even Jesus objected to the death penalty itself, even though He was unjustly victimized by it.

::::The recent attempt to portray the Catholic Church as being against the death penalty is the result of a liberal movement inside and particularly outside the Church. It can't withstand logic and will not last. Keeping a murderer in jail while his mind degrades beyond the point of redemption is not preferable from a spiritual perspective, and denial of punishment by death is just a proxy for falsely denying the existence of [[Hell]]. The death penalty is merciful compared to [[Hell]].--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:43, 25 May 2009 (EDT)
