But it is the same theology. The Vatican taught Jesuits theology in which slavery is a good thing. Also the Vatican is responsible for what Catholic orders do. They obviously didn't regulate Jesuits as they made money trading slaves for over a century, and Jesuits obviously also sent a good part of that money to the Vatican so that they could buy gold and build and maintain palaces.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
