Description

The page presents a brief excerpt from notes written for the consideration of the Council of Trent. Franciscus criticizes the church's shortcomings in its ministry to the slaves and censures the brutality of many masters. He also condemns the commerce in slaves who are Christians even in the third or forth generation. Finally, he condemns the enslavement of persons not captured in just wars or otherwise lawfully stripped of their freedom.
