Sorry guys, but I really don't see a different message at all. The message is the same: The death penalty is immoral unless it is the only means available for keeping society safe.
Perhaps the change in the word (if it was even intentional) was to express reinforcement of the seriousness of this teaching. There are Catholics who like to think the death penalty is A-ok, so I see why they would have needed to make themselves more clear and more stern.

"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."
