What about the Bible legitimizing slavery? Has he apologized for that?
My issue is not just the Holy See getting it wrong, the Bible itself is wrong on the issue.
Okay but the Catholic church's endorsement of slavery is why we had the transatlantic slave trade, it is one of tbe most damaging decisions in world history and acknowledging that it was wrong is important. Blaming the bible is just giving them an out, and for once its an out theyre not even taking.
I think if the pope edited the Bible people would stop listening to him 🤷♂️
I didn't say he should edit slavery out of the Bible, he should apologize and condemn every passage that legitimizes slavery. Slavery in all its forms, including biblical slavery, is deeply evil.
