Slavery is ok with the Catholic Church? Where and when? Regarding U.S. History and Congress, and the Senate and the White House, definitive slavery was terminated after the Civil War. Prejudice and racist attitudes was not.

If you mean that illegal aliens who work for less than minimum wage are slaves, well, not technically. They aren't bought or sold, and they've entered into a contractual relationship, albeit illegal with all parties involved. They've given up their ability to negotiate a fair wage because they're here illegally, and their employer, who is illegally hiring them, holds the cards. The illegals should be deported and their employer should go to jail. As for the
Church, it's never approved of slavery and has often been aiding those who are unjustly treated by employers or plantation owners. Please provide some concrete examples and so I can retract my understanding of history.

I don't think you need to retract anything, but Cardinal Mahoney thinks we can't get enough illegals in California. I guess 6 million illegals times 4 babies won't cut it.
