In the 1600s, he served at the center of the slave trade in South America, which was cruel and horrible. From the minute a slave ship came into harbor with new slaves, he cared for their lives. And he baptized at least 300,000 slaves.
A good short biography of him is at claverjesuit.org/clavbio.pdf
