The Jesuit Priests at Georgetown sold 272 slaves to keep the school open. In my mind that meant that they believed in slavery, even though the slaves were Catholic. Read the article, then think about what changed from the 1500's to 1838. Nothing I can see, they used non Jesuit converts as labor and for making money. Now if I knew when the school was opened by them, we could see the gap from the expulsion in 1767 to when they arrived back in the "New World".
