The Bible is A-ok with slavery

>All slavery for the past 6000 years is American whites treating African blacks as chattel.

The ignorance on this board is overwhelming.

The Catholic Church has a very complicated relationship with slavery, for the most part people just saw it as a part of life, but it really depends on what you mean by slavery. Honestly you'd probably be better off finding a good book on the subject.

Generally speaking in the Middle Ages the idea of enslaving a Christian was not okay, but enslaving non-Christians was seen as acceptable, though subject to certain restrictions.

Even in Europe it wasn't a very fashionable thing to bring the slave into Christian society i felt. Of course I may not be an expert, but I didn't see a surge of slaves working in Europe other than being courtiers to the nobility. Galley slaves I guess? Pretty late into the period though before it became popular.

The bible really doesn't condemn slavery in any significant way. Christian Abolitionism is something that gain prominence after the Enlightenment had run its course.

That kind of slavery was rarely chattel slavery. Slaves outside of plantations were almost entirely personal attendants and domestic servants who occupied a place in the household than a purely financial investment meant only for hard labor.
