Hi, I've been surfing on this forum for a while now, and it seems that, as traditional Catholics would be, many people are in favor of capital punishment for heretics and apostates within the territories of a formal Catholic State. My question is basic:
If you are in favor of this, then how can you condemn Islamic states for, essentially, doing the same thing? I know you could argue that they're doing it in the name of the wrong God, but then, that would be an error of fact, not of morals, and yet many people act like it is, indeed, a moral atrocity, as with the situation with the Sudanese woman in Sudan.
I could go either way on this issue, I'd just like to know what your responses are.
