Neil, this is a matter of principle. I've never argued there should be a civil death penalty for adultery.
But for Trads (particularly Trad women!) in this society, where such sins require just a trip to confession and a few Our Fathers and hail Mary's until they repeat the process next week, even the theoretical possibility of a woman being executed for adultery is unthinkable for them.
And it should also be mentioned, that in this society, women are not punished for adultery, on the contrary, an adulterous woman can take a man's children from him, and force him to pay for their support while she continues her adultery. That is insanity.

It is certain. I've already quoted St. Thomas about it. |
Thomas was a saint, not a pope speaking infallibly. |
No, but he says that it's certain.
There is no doubt the Church has approved of capital punishment for adultery in the past.

so you do agree that a woman should be executed for commiting adultery?
