The Cftthplic Church in its Relation to
Slavery.
[For The Press.]
In a former article we took a synoptical
Tiew of slavery is the ancient world. AVe will
row endeavor to prove that to the Catholic
Church alone belongs the honor and the
glory of wiping out the abomination of
slavery ' in Europe- ; that she is - now the
Only Church that is uncontaminated with its
festering cause. There pervades throughout
her whole policy a unity and fixedness of
purpose upon this question of slavery
that no historian can mistranslate, or no time
efface. For eighteen hundred, years She has
labored incessantly and unremittingly in favor
of the slave. She has never stopped to ques
tion whether -he was stricken down by the
brute force of the Legions of Rome, or by
the iron mace of the Northman. She never in
vestigated by what flimsy title the slave was
holden : whether he was torn away from his
unlive 1 lire Cors-iir of Algiers or S.iHj.
or was bought upon, the Guinea coast, and
'subjected to the horrors of the middle passage
by men of our own time and country. No; the
Church Catholic has, then and now, been the
uncompromising foe of all such barbarities, and
if her children aretrne to her moti vesand policy,
they will, in their own gphore and in their own
fashion, las as she, the consistent opponents
of the extension, and the unceasing advocates
of the abrogation of slavery.
To establish our position, we must show
that the firgt aggressive measures of the
Church were directed against the existence of
slavery' i that that sentiment has animated her
counsels and pervaded her policy from the be
ginning of her mission to the very age in
which we live., She never wavered in her ef
forts, although the storms of persecution
gathered around" her, bursting in all their
.bloody fury on her head. Though heresies
and schisms in every age rent h-w bosom, and
distracted her policy, she never, in any age,
clime, or instance, ceased to be a mighty ad
vocate of the natural liberty and equality of
the whole human family.
The earliest efforts of the Church were ne
cessarily directed to combat the inhuman be
lief in the inferiority of the slave. This was
the more necessary, becansc of the universali
ty of that belief. Her first efforts were not
obscure or inefficient. St. Paul, in writing
to the Galatians, says : a Per you are all the
children of God, by faith in Jesus Christ; for
as many of you as have been baptized in
Christ have put on Christ. There is neither
Jew IIOT Greek— there is neither bond nor free;
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Thus we sec that the Church, in the first
opinion which it pronounces upon the slave,
declares him equal to all men in the dignity of
nature, and in the participation of the graces
which the Divine Spirit diffuses upon earth.
One’s heart naturally dilates at the voice of
the Church thus loudly proclaiming the holy
principles of fraternity and equality.
After having heard the philosophers and
sages of the Greek and Roman world, uniting
to degrade the slave, one is delighted to cop
template the millions of men who, bent under
degradation and ignominy, at the voice of the
Church raise -their eyes io,var<j &nd
become accounted worth hope.
The early Christian fathers labored under
the same disadvantages regarding the ethics of
slavery that we now labor under—the unfitness
in the mass of the slaves for emancipation.
The condition of the slave in the infancy of
our faith was an exact parallel to the condi
tion of the slave with us. In the Roman
world custom and the laws placed them in the
rank of brutes. Masters Commanded because
it was their good pleasure; slaves obeyed, not
on accoimt of moral obligations, but because
they were compelled, to do so • they being the
property of their-masters—machines, to go as
driven.' Does not custom with us place the
negro upon a level with rilie bpnte ? Doth not
the lawB,as expounded by. out Supreme Court,
place them in the same position they occupied
in the Greek and Roman world ?—chattels to
be bought, sold, and driven as beasts. Doth
not masters command because it is their
will? Do stores obey because of moral obli
gations? Is not their obedience the obedi
ence of the horse—to the bridle or lash ?
What course .did oUr Catholic ancestors
pursue when they confronted, 1800 years ago,
a like condition of things to what now exists ?
Did they knot the lash, or sharpen the goad,
in the hands of the Roman stave master?
They did not. While they rendered to the
Constituted authorities—as we render to
them—obedience, they proclaimed the equal
ity of all men before God, and thus threw
down the gage of defiance to the public
opinion, to the laws, and to the philosophy of
the entire pagan world. This, although a rent
step in advance, involved no breach of the
laws-. The early Christians combatted slavery
with the force of ideas, and established the
equality of man, as grandly expounded by St.
Paul in writing to the Galatians. Thus our
Christian ancestors attacked the very error—
to wit, that slaves were chattels—that we are
asked to countenance at present. When St.
Paul, in writing to Philemon, hod occasion to
intercede in favor of a poor f ugitive—Onesi
mns—does he speak of him as a chattel ? “ I
lrt.-M.-t.-cli thre," rne Apostle snrs to Philemon,
“tor my son Onesimus. Receive him as iny
own towels; no snore as a slave, biii as a
most dear brother.
No plainer or more forcible enunciation of
man's equality could Lave been stated. Does
the Gatholic Church in after ages contravene
tins policy? does she now teach contrary
doctiiiie ? The Church in the earlier ages
was powerless as a civil legislator; hence, the
operation of her policy, as regarded slaves,
was necessarily confined to her own children.
The policy of the Church was two-fold in its
One endeavors to ameliorate the
condition of the slave, the other agressive
measures in favor of his enfranchisement.
Mark now the progressive development of
her policy of emancipation.
The Council of Elvira, held in 317, (?) im
poses long and severe penance upon those
guilty of cruelty to ft slave. The Council of
Orleans, in 549, provides that if a slave,
guilty of a fault, shall take refuge in a church
he shall be restored to his master; first ex
acting a promise confirmed with an oath that
he will not do him any harm. If the master,
in violation of his oath,heat the slave, lie shall
be excommunicated.
The Council of Merida, in 666, gave marked
attention, and labored strenuously to abro
gate the old Homan law that gave to a master
the power of life and death. In eleven years
after, the Council of Toledo passes most
humane regulations as regards slaves.
Coincident with these efforts to ameliorate
the condition of the slave were those of the
Church to emancipate. Slowly, but wisely,
does she fulfil her mission. Not having the
power to absolutely emancipate, she throws
her mantle of protection ovortho manumitted.
Thus we find, as early as 441, and again in
649, by the canons of the Councils of Orange
and of Orleans, the heaviest censures directed
against those who attempted to reduce a freed
man to slavery. The custom of enfranchising
slaves in the churches with becoming cere
monies, introduced between the third and
fifth .centuries, was extremely favorable to
liberty. This custom made the Church a
party- to the manumission, and developed the
conviction that it was an act pleasing to God
thus.to give liberty to a bondsman. The
Church being a witness to the act of freedom,
was in duty bound to sue the freeman pro
tected in his liberty, lienee the reason of the
censures directed against all who would flare
enslave a freeman.
In the 6th and 7th centuries the church
made a notable advance. She tool; under her
protection all those slaves recommended to
her charge by the piety of individuals; and
then by the canons of several councils, de
clared that a servant of the Church could not
be sold or revert in any way to a layman.
The effect of this regulation was to free my
riads, as the constantly increasing number of
slaves bequeathed to the Church made menu*
mission an act of necessity. Indeed, a canon
of the Council of Cclchito declares that at the
death of a Bishop all the slaves of the Church
in his diocese were made free. Another step
In the onward path was made in the Bth cen
tury, the Church declaring, that to all of those
who were desirous of entering the monastic
life, liberty was to be given them. In the
10th century, by the Council of Coblcntz, it
was declared homicide to enslave a Christian
by any means whatever. The value placed up
on human liberty by the canons of the Council
of Cyblentz showed the prevailing opinions of
the times, and indicate the progressive march
of the C' urch in her career of freedom.
How much human liberty was valued by the
doctors-and fathers of the Church in the 10th
century is best shown by their placing life
and liberty on the one parallel; He that strikes
down his fellow-man through anger, or in re
venge; was rightly adjudged guilty of death;
the value of life is thereby enhanced j it is
placed at a price beyond ail calculation.
How much Hie waa valued, rude as was the
period, is best indicated by the price set upon
it: It hat is so dear to one as life? Nothing
save liberty! answers the freeman; How
PIUCh was liberty valued! how priceless was
the jewel! " hen life alone, in the opinion of
the fathers of the 10th century, was its equi
valent: «He that enslaves a Christian is
guilty of homicide and shall die!” say the
canons of the Council of Coblent?..
