This deeply resonates with Black Catholics and activists who’ve long demanded accountability, especially given the Pope’s own family’s complex legacy of enslavement and ownership. While the Vatican rejected the Doctrine last year, these older bulls were never formally revoked. The Pope laments the 18-century delay in condemning slavery and warns against modern trafficking tied to digital tech, marking a pivotal moment in Church history.
