The Catholic Church, and particularly John Paul II, has shown a good amount of integrity in sticking to this policy, and to its stand against capital punishment. This is difficult for right-wing Catholics, who tend to think all other Catholics are liberal heretics, that the right-wingers are the only true Catholics. The right-wingers may call themselves "pro-life," but they're usually "pro-death" when it comes to issues like war and capital punishment. They tend to get nervous and babble when confronted with the Pope's position. Their uneasiness gives me great satisfaction.
