博客來＂Influence of Catholic Christian Doctrines On the Emancipation of Slaves＂ (1863) explores the role of Catholic teachings in the movement to abolish slavery. Written by James Fitton, a member of the Sodality of the B. V. Mary, the book presents a historical and theological argument for the incompatibility of slavery with Christian principles.
Fitton examines specific Catholic doctrines and their implications for the treatment of enslaved people, highlighting the Church’s stance on human dignity and moral responsibility. This work offers valuable insights into the complex intersection of religion, ethics, and social reform during a pivotal period in American history, contributing to the discourse on slavery and its eventual abolition.
