Personally, I agree with JPII's position (prudential judgment) that we ought NOT to execute, at least here in the States.
But that prudential judgment cannot abrogate the established infallible teaching that the State HAS SUCH A RIGHT--
You don't like my analogy, but you don't seem to understand how language works--nor logic.

Dittos to your fine comments on this thread.
This is probably the one and only instance where a Catholic can honestly say, I am personally opposed to (insert morally debatable act here) but I cannot impose my prudential judgement upon the State" and not be in dissent from any Catholic al teaching.
