@unclemark It is a sin to willfully and knowingly reject infallible dogma. However, disagreeing with the church on a particular moral teaching is not necessarily sinful, although the motivations for disagreement may be. In the case of capital punishment, for example, if one supports capital punishment out of a desire for seeking revenge, that desire itself is sinful.

The Catechism is not an infallible document; it is a summary of the current understanding of the whole teaching of the Church. If someone finds themselves in disagreement with part of it, that disagreement in and of itself is not necessarily a sin.

The Catechism changes. It’s not infallible. 

So do you guys get to decide when and where you follow the Church's/Pope's teachings? 

Have you never met any Catholics?

So what?  As far as I know, killer’s likelihood of rehab is not a factor in carrying out the DP. 

Second, the point is that society has remained at the degenerated level of vengeful punishment for lack of such a science. 

In short, Jesus is still ahead of our time.
