Southeastern Wesley

Southeastern Wesley The Wesley exists to serve the students, faculty, and staff of Southeastern Louisiana University body, mind, and soul. We believe that God is always speaking.

The question is whether we are listening? The Wesley is a come-as-you-are, authentic community committed to finding out what it means to live like Jesus, and what it means to lead others to Jesus. There is no question that is off-limits, and you do not have to believe in order for you to belong. We only ask that you will consider seeing yourself as we see you...as God see's you!

Pope Leo XIV has issued a categorical apology for the Vatican’s historical role in legitimizing and failing to condemn the slave trade, describing this failure as ‘a wound in Christian memory’ and cautioning that contemporary technologies are facilitating new forms of human exploitation.

In our work to advance women’s equality in the Church, including ordination, we frequently cite the historical development of Church teaching on slavery as a significant point of reference. It demonstrates both the reality of grave moral error within ecclesial history and the Church’s capacity, over time, for doctrinal and ethical development.

In this light, the present apology may be understood not only as an act of repentance but also as part of a broader pattern in which the Church comes, however belatedly, to acknowledge and redress past injustices.

We know that a similarly clear and unqualified acknowledgment of injustice toward women will emerge one day.

Until then, the work of advocacy continues with persistence and hope. Slavery’s demise happened because of the dedication of abolitionists. We are called to do the same.

For your reference, here is a link to table showing the Church’s progression on slavery: https://womenpriests.org/the-teaching-authority-and-slavery/
