Does the Church support religious freedom?

The Catholic Church never has the power to exercise capital punishment.

The death penalty existed and was used in the Papal States.

I agree it was Catholic secular King’s who killed the Catholic heretics teaching heresy within their kingdoms, but don’t blame the Catholic Church for something she never does.

A lot of “having your cake and eating it” there.

Capital punishment was and is exercised among all the nations. What is your point?

Truth exposes all devils

When you run out of substance to the debate, no need to go off topic to personalize your default by blaming things. Can you add to the subject at hand?

My point is that you were being economical with the actualité by saying:

The Catholic Church never has the power to exercise capital punishment.

The Papal States were directly ruled by the Papacy which - now this may come as a shock to you so make sure you’re sitting down - is at the head of the Catholic Church.

Truth exposes all devils

Well, better not be economical with it then.

That’s why we’re moving into the world of “nothing is true and anything is possible.”
