The current Pope is morally opposed to capital punishment, but the Church does not have an official stance on the matter. It officially opposes both abortion and homosexuality.

A catholic can be excommunicated and/or denied the sacraments (including things like last rites) for not supporting (acting in oppostion to) any/all things the church is opposed to? What is the demarcation in teachings/rules of the church that lead to denial of benefits/privilages in the church; abortion, birth control, divorce, adultery...?
