DOCUMENT 2: Justification of Slavery, Bishop Bossuet, French Theologian (1627-1704)

To condemn this state [slavery]…would be not only to condemn human law where servitude is admitted, as it appears in all laws, but also it would be to condemn the Holy Spirit which, speaking through St. Paul, ordered slaves to remain in their condition and which did not in any way oblige masters to free them.

On what two grounds does Bishop Bossuet justify slavery?

How would you argue against him?
