Slavery
In the late 17th century, the Roman Catholic Church, taking up a plea by Lourenço da Silva de Mendouça, officially condemned the slave trade, which was affirmed vehemently by Pope Gregory XVI in 1839. The abolitionist movement only started in the late 18th century, however, when English and American Quakers began to question the morality of slavery.
Quoting: newtome Exactly, as per the bible and, by definition, religious precepts, slavery is ok. You can even find in the bible how to deal with your slaves. So why did the Pope change his mind? Are there other parts of the Bible that were considered more important in a more modern society? All these changes came from Christians using Biblical text.
