I wasn't even aware that the Catholic church was officially against capital punishment- haw haw! Go figure! Hoo-boy. Times sure have changed.
Anyhow, check this shit out:
"An execution is always tragic news, reason for sadness, even in the case of a person who is guilty of grave crimes," the Holy See's spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, said in a statement released by the Vatican press office.
Earlier in the morning, Lombardi made similar comments on Vatican Radio.
"The position of the Catholic Church — against the death penalty — has been reiterated many times," the spokesman said in the statement, referring to the Vatican's overall opposition to capital punishment.
"Killing the guilty one is not the way to rebuild justice and reconcile society," the spokesman said. "On the contrary, there is the risk that the spirit of revenge is fueled and that the seeds of new violence are sown."
In other words, capital punishment is UN-PIG. I couldn't agree with you more, Reverend.
