Disputed Catholic Questions, I

Here's a fun one.

The evil of usury vs. the permissibility of the death penalty.

Did the Church endorse both of these whole-heartedly?  In the same way?  And has the Church now contradicted or allowed to fall into disuse her former teaching on the matter?

I have some very vague thoughts.  But the first and most interesting one is that these are two issues that seem to split orthodox Catholics down the center.
