Thank you, thank you, thank you for opening our eyes to the horrors we can come to commit on our brothers & sisters when we depart from the love of God.

I am so grateful for this series- yes, let this be the START of this long needed conversation.

I applaud this upload and the narrator telling personal and legal accounts of slavery in the United States. We must not deny our history. Many insecure people do not want to hear or learn from all of history. These stories must be told for all of us. Thank you. Also, it is good to let it be known that Pope John Paul II asked for forgiveness for the Church's complicity in slavery.

This is phenomenal! I hate that we have to have a whole series on this but it’s been far too long since it’s been addressed by solid Catholic sources! I heard your conversion story and if you ever find yourself doing a talk or anything near Topeka, Kansas, you’ve got a place to stay with my wife and I. Thank you for being so rational and patient with people who don’t understand why this stuff still matters. God bless you and your work!

God creates all man are equally regardless Asian, African or American! God loves all of us , and we have to be United in Christ! Thank you for Good News!

I don’t know how people, especially so-called Christians, can listen to these anecdotes and not feel pain for those that suffered through this. Hearing about those lashings makes me think of our Lord’s scourging at the pillar and the lashings Paul received.

Let the world know that all human beings are sacred

An eye opener for sure. A call for examination of conscience today as well. Thank you

when we do the exact opposite of what God ordains..... good points made.

Excellent video! I look forward to watching part two.

Thank you for enlightening the eyes and minds of Catholics about racism.

Dear Sister, thank you for so competently reminding us of the enormity of our ancestor's sins. Thank you for pointing out that vestiges of those sins can and do affect us today should we wander from the Christ-like attitudes and behaviors we espouse. Bless you as you continue your mission, we are deeply touched and grateful.

We are born slaves. Freed by the Birth, Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Savior and Lord God.

...🤨 You know damn well that the entirety of humanity wasn't born into American chattel slavery. The simple fact that you're comparing the slavery of sin to what ended a little over a century and a half ago tells me that what she said went in one ear and straight out the other, no impediment because there's clearly no brain there.

You should quote St. Gregory of Nyssa who was against any kind of slavery! It’s amazing!

We are all born into slavery. Fortunately Our Father had a rescue plan. His Son. And the Holy Sacraments.

How so?

The horrors were nothing new to me. It is as baffling to me that people thought this racism was acceptable as drawn and quartering people and displaying their body parts was in mid-evil times was acceptable. What I don't agree with is finding racism as the root of everything. What I do wonder in my mind is have we sufficiently repented of the affects of slavery? Has the restitution been made? That is what I don't know. What does the restitution to such a large injustice look like if at all possible? Is it possible to make a restitution where the damaged party would say "ok now you have rectified the damage" or will demand for restitution be unending. I pray for wisdom in this matter. Holy Spirit show us the way.

Maybe the question, perhaps often asked, is why 16th century Christian and Catholic Europeans had the impetus to colonize and enslave subjugated native peoples they encountered, instead of applying the very obvious call by Christ in the Gospel to love and respect every human being, as all people are made in the image and likeness of God and to whom Christ died and raised. But this is a historical question regarding secular powers, lay people, and the roles of the clergy in colonial lands and in the European heartland; things which occurred in the past and about the past, not a question about the integrity of the Church's teachings overall and obligations regarding human dignity and evangelization, because the teachings of the Church have always been true, embodied in the Person of Christ.

Racism is a serious sin against the dignity of the human person. Gloria Purvis is not being dishonest, and she is not being a so-called "activist," in your words, with this video series. She is speaking spiritual truths and historical truths. Racism is a serious sin which can, and all too often, does, lead to terribly sinful treatment of fellow human beings.

Narrating personal and legal accounts of slavery in the United States does not qualify for an activist, a teacher perhaps, or a student of history absolutely. The narrator curated primary sources to unveil the horrors of violence justified by racial paradigms and prejudice.

Why are you even talking about this? A very small group of wealthy democrats in the south are the ones who owned the slaves. My family is from Poland and I have no skin in this whatsoever but Im force fed this every single day of my life here in America. WHY. No people today in the United States have owned slaves and no African American people today were ever slaves. This is a non issue.

Nevermind that when I see your face I can't tell if you have ancestry from England, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, really pretty much any European country over another, so the fact that you come from any single one doesn't matter. You're phenotypically white and for that reason, you were socialized within a community that wasn't isolated, necessarily, but is indeed very insulated, and it was because of the way you look that you were socialized into something of which you don't even have full awareness of the ramifications. Even the fact that you would say something so obtuse, inane, and doltish is evidence of that socialization. Y'all bred the empathy out of yourselves centuries ago.

Still sounds like the Church needs to have an international confession and absolution for the sin of chattel slavery. The sin continues in so many 'new' forms. Unless the victim hears how sorry the perpetrator was, there can be no real healing. We pick up our lives as people of the New World and press on....

@zaqtins You're living in your imagination. Please don't put words in my mouth. The sin of slavery continues with its vestiges in many current forms. That's a fact that cannot be denied and that is the purpose of the lesson here. Whatever wound is not healed over history continues to bleed into the modern era. The level of hate is deeply ingrained and when you consider it, it isn't today's blacks who are 'slaves' but the current perpetrators of this deep hatred.

This is not appropriate for your program. Slavery was abolished. I'm disappointed. Read the Old Testament. Things like this happened back then as well. And to have a black Sister read this. Shame on you.

@@meandmysis2779 you have never participated in racism.., okay.congratulations, where should we send your trophy ? Racism is a sin that still afflicts America and the entire world, and to say otherwise is to lie. That progress has been made doesn’t mean that the American society still doesn’t live with the consequences of slavery, Including your own black brothers and sisters in the body of Christ. It is very uncharitable to dismiss any talk of racism simply because it was abolished as if there aren’t people today and everyday that suffer racism. Also, the point of this series of lectures is the dignity of every human life and the many ways we have destroyed and continue to destroy and disregard that dignity in various ways, from abortion, to racism , down to the basic lack of simple love in our words and actions. And racism isn’t appropriate on a Catholic channel ? Why? Because it will offend? May that’s why it should be part of the channel, our sins should make us all uncomfortable. While I can understand how people can be saturated with the same news cycle, you as a Christian and a Catholic should for once see it through the lense of the church and your fellow catholic, especially one who has experienced racism together with her family. Also, until you and your family have been part of slavery or any form of genocide , please never tell the people who have experienced such evil to move on. You have no idea what it means to have lived that experience and carry those wounds. Please , never say that. The Rwanda Genocide for instance was almost 30 years ago, believe it or not the wounds are still fresh, the country still suffers from that evil, families especially children carry that burden and trauma. You can’t tell people who live through things like genocide, war and slavery to just get over it because it happened years ago. Especially not when today the evil is still there to be seen and felt.
