Regarding “Death Penalty Symposium” (March 24-30):
I just finished reading Justice Scalia's rebuttal, and the comments from Cardinal Dulles and Father Rutler regarding the Church's teaching on the death penalty. I am thoroughly enjoying this back-and-forth discussion by these noted scholars and would like to encourage the Register to engage more Catholic intellectuals in this manner.
I can't think of a more effective way for me, and others, to broaden their understanding of key issues and doctrine than to hear from important people like Justice Scalia. Perhaps Senators Leahy, Kennedy and many other Catholic politicians would offer up their understanding and beliefs of abortion, as such.
