Prisoners of war are allowed, right? But that isn’t the same as slavery, they cannot be used for work, etc.

It seems that you’re failing to make distinctions again. Yes, prisoners of war can be used for work. So can regular criminal prisoners. It happens every day, and it always has. They do this work as a condition of their imprisonment, which is what distinguishes their work from the work performed by a chattel slave.

The Church has consistently condemned chattel slavery. Other forms of involuntary servitude may or may not be unjust, depending on the specific circumstances.

Sorry all but I nearly fell on the floor laughing at this post. Is this Bill Clinton? because it sure sounds like one of his answers. Tell any Black person that their relatives weren’t really slaves, they were just forced into “Involuntary Servitude”.

Reading is fundamental. So is at least a passing understanding of history. Africans were subjected to chattel slavery, which is precisely that type of slavery the Church has consistently condemned. Your post is both insulting and ignorant.

The Slavery practiced in America was chattel slavery A type of slavery categorically condemned by the Pope befoe the New World was discovered. In fact he was the first European leader to do so.

I note that you have been given many links to concise exolanations of the various forms of slavery and the Church teachngs in slavery for the last 2,000 years.From reading your posts it is obvious that you refused to read any of these instead prefering to wallow in your lack knowledge as a means to attack the church

Yes. For example, is the restriction against artificial birth control prudential or infallible ? Or for another example, is it prudential or infallible to omit the filioque from the creed ?

War and imprisonment are prudential.

As for ABC, that is another topic. The filioque is also another topic. There are other threads already on these two topics on which you can ask your question.

Perhaps we could respect the topic of the OP? Thanks.
