The Catholic Church and the Ending of Slavery
In May, Leo XIV ‘apologised’ for the Church’s supposed role in slavery, and failure to end it.
This talk considers the accuracy of such claims:

I'm also confident, on empirical grounds, that without Christ you cannot escape slavery.
Slavery is quintessentially the modern state of man. Slavery to sin, leading inexorably to slavery to tyrants.
The idea that one can legislate slavery away is typically liberal fantasy.

Slavery doesn't come with any moral quandary at all! It's perfectly moral to own slaves! Your view has absolutely no support.
The Church transformed society by elevating, by baptism, men to supernatural life. This made slavery, as such, irrelevant. It didn't *prohibit* it.
Slavery is, per se, lawful.
If it weren't then the Church would have instructed Christians from Pentecost on to free their slaves, as keeping them would have been a sin. She didn't because it isn't, and the theologians are clear that to say that it *is* sinful is a heresy. xitter.gq/habibianalytics/status…
