Catholic doctrine does NOT put abortion and the death penalty in the same category. Abortion is murder; the death penalty, when there is moral certainty of the condemned man's criminal guilt, is not.

That's in the Catechism.

The rest of this stuff, climate change and so forth, is subjective opinion by highly-placed Catholics of the Francis "Church of What's Happenin' Now" type.

They can be safely ignored by Catholics. And by you, too.

Give them time...they’ll write it into future versions of the Catechism AND they’ll start pushing it in Homilies and future encyclicals. Don’t underestimate their tenacity.
