They stole the idea from Ned Kelly...
and STILL people think religion is a good idea?
I don't actually disagree with you but technically that Pope didn't break the commandment (not saying other popes didn't) he had someone else do it. It's all about deniability just like today.
You are both wrong. The proper translation of the commandment is "thou shall not /murder/." The Church has always recognized capital punishment as valid in certain circumstances.
So as long as the local lord says it's ok, ending a life isn't a sin. Again that really seems like hiding behind a technicality... "Do whatever your king says and God will back you" (unless the king crosses us...)
The Papal aristocracy is the oldest, continual grift, in the history of mankind.
