  2. #PopeLeo XIV made a historic #apology Monday for the role the Holy See played in #slavery & for having failed to condemn it for centuries, calling the #Vatican’s record a “wound in Christian memory.”

    Past popes have apologized for Christians’ involvement in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. But no pope had ever publicly acknowledged, much less apologized for, the role that past popes played in giving European sovereigns explicit authority to subjugate & enslave “infidels.”
