I have addressed it before -as have others- as has the Papacy, the Magisterium, The Deposit of Faith etc etc. You just reject it and desire approval of contraception. Breathes there a Freeper Catholic that doesn' know this. The Magisterium says one thing and Sink says another...Who am I to follow?

You cannot explain the pope's sudden and, you say, authoritative, stance on capital punishment except to invoke "authority," which is no explanation at all.

The only theologians you're going to be able to find to back your point of view are going to be lefties like Rosemary Reuther and Daniel McGuire.

Is a Catholic guilty of objective sin by voting for a candidate (like a governor) who supports the death penalty?

If the death penalty cannot be justified under present circumstances, then should we advocate excommunication of Catholic politicians (like Frank Keating) who refuse to commute death sentences?
