Non-factual and Nonsense

I read the article in the Parish World and have some issues with it. My source of reference is the Cathechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition, Revised in accordance with the official Latin text promulgated by Pope John Paul ll, August 15,1997.

Page 545
Legitimate Defense
paragraph 2263 to 2267.
pay particular attention to paragraph 2267.

There are times that the "death penalty" can be applied. I am not a scholar by any stretch of the imagination but it is apparent that the author of the article didn't read the cathechism, or chose to ignore it. The article was not factual and it is this kind of "nonsense" that sows discord and division, within the Church.
