Most modern Christians (including Catholics) don't champion stoning disobedient teens to death, stoning witches to death or stoning those who worship other gods to death. Anotherwords, the less they are true to their religion, the better. What does that tell you about their (your) religion?
...It tells me we learned from our awful mistakes as times change, culture changes, and people evolve and become more educated.
You seem to be saying only Catholics who are not true to Catholicism are against stoning. That is not the case because the death penalty is against Catholic teaching, and the past several popes have spoken out against is vehemently. If a Catholic is for stoning adulterers or even for the death penalty in criminal cases, that person is going against official Church teaching, not staying true to it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
