About that Capital Punishment thing…
Let us not imagine that this is not a DE FIDE DOGMA OF THE FAITH, that must be held by all the faithful forever.
Let us not imagine that the phrase “is inadmissable” according to the “light of the Gospel” means anything else but “immoral” and “illicit” and “unjust”.
Do not be fooled by a heretic who claims his teaching, which contradicts God, is the teaching of the Church or faithful to the Gospel.

As I said elsewhere, he is using “prudential judgment” camouflage to sneak in a teaching that CP is intrinsically evil. Hence, all the preamble BS about we now know better, things are different today, etc. (the camouflage). The teaching is that because the DP fails to recognize the inviolability and dignity of the person, it is verboten. Because there are no circumstances that would allow for violability, CP is therefore intrinsically evil. The gravity of the crime doesn’t change it; the inability to protect society doesn’t change it – else, it would be violable, not inviolable. This is a 180 from previous teaching, and no way to spin it otherwise (not that terabytes haven’t been spent trying). Question is, what will our feckless insouciant hierarchy do now?
