Hi,
My question is in regards the Church and slavery. The
accusation that the Church supported slavery is a common
perception and, most often than not, a wrong one.
Being a Catholic who likes to be informed, I did already
some research myself, using useful web sites like www.NewAdvent.com,
so I know that throughout the history the Church has often
been against slavery and promoted human rites, although
in a different way than modern social (and political) movements.
Do you have any extra resources where I can find exactly
the relationship between:
- the Church
- slavery and
- human rights
in history, preferably from the first century until now?
Thank you for your answers.
Francesco
