Where were the bishops when Troy Davis died?

3. I am a Catholic from outside America and

I know of very few Catholics that support the death penalty in the UK or the rest of Europe. It seems that Americans always find a way to support the Death Penalty, even when you quote them the words of this Pope and JPII. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/angel/procon/popestate.html

I don't know what is wrong with your bishops other than the media is selective about what they will report....

If you look at the comments of below the last link you will see that the problem is American Catholic refuse to listen to things they don't want to hear. The vast majority of Catholic countries to not have the death penalty at all. It is just America and American Catholics that insist that it is right and just. The right wing Catholic also ignore teaching on environmental issues, social justice and what The Pope said to Bankers recently too..http://www.catholic.org/business/story.php?id=44025
. Outside of America Pro-Life does mean no death penalty and not supporting the war in Iraq. There are good liberal catholics in America that believe that too Martin Sheen and Stephen Colbert amoung them.
