he is arguing straightforwardly from the premise that catholic doctrine is the source of moral truth and that it has its own view of permissible and impermissible slavery. would it surprise you to learn that the 13th amendment has an explicit carve-out for prisoners? it's literally the same thing
- Beltalowda 4y agoThe 13th amendment talks about "slavery or involuntary servitude"; the prisoner exception mostly refers to "involuntary servitude" – certainly in modern context. Plus, certainly in US context (and this guy does seem to be from the US) "slavery" strongly implies "racial based slavery". That's not the only form of slavery, but that's the strong connotation it has in the US for obvious reasons. His exact views are unclear, and at best he is careless in how he expresses his views. Either way, I'm not especially interested in discussing his views in great detail; I was mostly replying to "I don't like this person, so I'm okay with him being a victim", which I take exception to.
