Garnett v. George?

Michael cites his own agreement with Robby George as near-conclusive proof that I am wrong about the death penalty.  What can I say?  I'm all about irenicism.  As Don Altobello said, in Godfather III, "blessed are the peacemakers."

Two quick points:  First, it is worth remembering -- and I realize that Michael was just kidding around, but still . . .  -- that, as Catholic legal scholars, Michael and Robby George agree about a lot, including, of course, the supra-significance and uber-good-news-ish-ness of what they both celebrate this Easter.  Second, to be clear, I don't think Professor George is misreading Evangelium vitae and the Catechism regarding the death penalty -- I just think the current formulation (in those documents) of the Church's position on capital punishment is unsatisfying.
