It was the Christian duty to bring the savages to civilization - not that they participated in it, but so that they could witness it and perform the hard manual labour to sustain it You are being sarcastic I hope.

You are being sarcastic I hope. Certainly. I find racial prejudice repugnant; I find cultural prejudice often justified. The Reformed who brought slaves into North America were only operating from the doctrinal and theological perspective that they had. There were a few Catholics who indulged in places like Hispaniola, but they were few, far between and short lived.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
