No? does the Catholic Church has a weigthing system when it comes to take lives (today)?
I am not aware of this. Can you give me some pointers so that I can research this further?

Well, of course the Bible does not say anything against the death penalty. There you have the moral Giver in person commanding the annihilation of people, the cutting apart of pregnant women, the slaying of pets and the slashing of little kids against walls. I cannot comment on this. He is your moral role model, not mine.
And if it is true (it is) that the Catholic Church approved the death penalty (together with torture and burning people alive,) then we have a problem. The Catholic Church today condemns the death penalty, without any doubt.
So, either you believe in a system that contradicts itself or... in a system that accepts cultural relativism or... in a system that admits to have been wrong in the past.. or in a system that is lying today about its position.
Your call, really.

This isn't a Religious Debate thread. Go take your religion bashing somewhere else, because I don't care about it.
