The Church defends the death penalty imposed for the punishment of grave crimes.

This is an error in Catholic doctrine. As my wife just pointed out: "That's the Muslim way".

“The State is there,” he says, “to serve God for your benefit"

How's that working out?

Wrong has been done to society by a criminal. The State is divinely authorized to penalize the one who had been tried and found guilty of a serious crime.

How about if I sentence the state to death for commission of grave crimes (i.e. abortion).
