Not-So-Coincidentally, Santorum Re-Thinks Death Penalty Stance

Could it be motivated by polls showing Catholics' opposition to capital punishment is growing dramatically???

Overall, the poll showed that Catholic opposition to the death penalty has grown from 27 percent in 2001 to 48 percent. Opposition jumps to 63 percent among daily Mass-goers -- making it 1 percent above the percentage of daily communicants who voted for Bush in 2004. Of those who say they only attend Mass on holidays, 62 percent support use of the death penalty.
