Ironic

The Catholic Church is against capital punishment. I find that somewhat hypocritical considering that if it was not for capital punishment in Roman times, let's say circa 33 a.d., there would have been no crucifixion of the Lord. You can see the obvious problems of that event not occurring, so let's try and be a little consistent here. Condemning something that gave rise to your beliefs??? I guess it works if it fits into pop culture . . .
