And, IIRC, this Pope, like his predecessor, is opposed to capital punishment. But, strangely, I have yet to have a visit from the Inquisition ordering me to adjust my beliefs to align with that of the popes. Too bad, because I'd love to get some autographs.
They routinely protest against every single execution, I believe - or at least every time I hear about someone on death row, there seems to be a condemnation from Rome.

Referring to the 1930s and then talking of re-evangelization is a rather painful gaffe, I must say.
