[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] There was a black population on the Canary Islands prior to the slave trade and European Invasions... Mathilda won't talk about this will she?? [i]Pope Eugene IV [b]Against the Enslaving of Black Natives from the Canary Islands[/b] January 13, [b]1435[/b][/i] http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Eugene04/eugene04sicut.htm [i]Some six decades before Columbus set out for the new world, [b]Pope Eugene IV condemned the enslavement of black natives from the Canary Islands[/b]. This 1435 papal command demanded the European slave-masters to release them within 15 days or face the weight of excommunication from the Church. [/i] http://fatherjoe.wordpress.com/instructions/other/catholicism-the-black-experience/ [b]1402[/b] [i][b]Juan de Bethencourt became the first European to settle in the Canary Islands and made slaves of several natives heralding the beginning of the black slave trade.[/b] At this time slavery had been practically eliminated in Europe, thanks to the influence of the Church. The Holy Roman Church later would not only condone and support slavery even of those baptized into the Roman Catholic Church but also would hold their own slaves. Europe, led by Spain, would begin over four centuries of slave trading that included some twenty million Africans alone, of which half died in transit. Jewish children deported from Portugal during the Inquisition settle Sao Tome e Principe, two islands 320 kilometers west of Gabon. It then became a transit point for the slave trade. Pope John Paul II (1978 - ) in 1992 deplored the Roman Catholic Church's condoning of that sad offense to human dignity.[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
