Excerpt from Influence of Catholic Christian Doctrines on the Emancipation of Slaves
In such a state of things it certainly was no slight task to remove error, to reform and improve manners, abolish slavery, correct the vices of legislation, impose a check on power, and make it harmonize with the public interest, give new life to individuals, and reorganize family and swiety; and yet nothing less than this has been done by the Catholic Church.
In confirmation of this historic truth, let us view the subject, which of all others, in our day and country, is of general inter est and discussion, the subject of slavery; inviting those who feel interest to know more fully the harmonizing effects of Christian civilization, to consult the work of Balmes, to whose untiring labor and erudition the subjoined compilation of proofs and observations are justly acknowledged.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates Christianity's influence in abolishing the inhuman and degrading practice of slavery. The author, drawing upon historical accounts from ancient times, weaves a compelling narrative that emphasizes the role of Christian doctrine and practices in weakening and ultimately eradicating slavery throughout Christian societies. The book argues that Christianity, in its teachings of human dignity and universal brotherhood, directly challenged the erroneous beliefs that fueled the institution of slavery. By promoting the idea that all individuals are created equal and deserving of respect, Christian thought laid the ethical groundwork for abolishing this oppressive practice. The author meticulously examines the manifold ways in which the early Church worked tirelessly to dismantle slavery. From actively organizing the emancipation of enslaved individuals to safeguarding their freedom through protection and legal counsel, the Church's commitment to eradicating this social evil is undeniably evident. Through a nuanced analysis of historical documents, the book unravels the complex socio-political landscape in which slavery was embedded. It demonstrates how the Church, operating within the constraints of the time, strategically employed a combination of doctrinal teachings, social action, and advocacy to undermine the foundations of slavery. This meticulously researched work offers a comprehensive understanding of the Church's unwavering eï orts and profound impact on the abolition of slavery. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery, the evolution of human rights, and the enduring influence of religion in shaping societies.
