Santorum and the Death Penalty

Rick Santorum is reexamining his stance on the death penalty. This is good news.

Santorum seems to be moving pretty tentatively, saying only that he wants it limited and that he doesn't think that it is fundamentally wrong. But he says that he agrees with Pope John Paul II. If he follows this line of thought, hopefully he'll come to side with Avery Dulles and realize that in modern America should never be applied.
