To: Hugh the Scot

No but as one example, she co-authored a scholarly legal article stating this conclusion: “[W]e believe that Catholic judges (if they are faithful to the teaching of their church) are morally precluded from enforcing the death penalty. This means that they can neither themselves sentence criminals to death nor enforce jury recommendations of death.”

That statement alone would give me pause.

Yes, that is concerning.

It’s, as of now, only a scholarly opinion, but could very well be a precursor to a bad judicial opinion. Her opinion is nonetheless quite prevalent among Catholics.

How is this then, not “I don’t trust her because she’s too Catholic”?
