Yes.

[quote]But to fufill your Sabbath obligation with the Trinidine Mass every Sunday is not in line with Church teaching. I could be wrong, but that is the impression I got in Seminary.[/quote]

You are wrong. But this has nothing to do with capital punishment.

first an observation:

the death penalty, and just war seem to be derivatives of the same teaching on self defence just adapted for the entity of the political body.

look at the requirements
1. it must be done with the purpose of preventing greater evil (harm to one's self or harm to the members of a nation)
2. it must be 'a last resort' (all other methods must have been exhausted)
3. it must be proportionate you don't kill a guy who slaps you, you kill someone trying to kill you

now for my question:

states are also called to be responsible, does anyone have a quote on the average per year cost of the state paying all the living expenses of a violent criminal. Seeing as how they were convicted of violent crime it is reasonable to assume they were to violent to be put to a work crew where some of the cost may be saved. I know it sounds harsh but it seems they either harm the state by harming its citizens or harm the state by forcing it to pay for their welfare in essence robbing the state.
