Many scholars have shied away from this uncomfortable topic, but in recent years a cadre of historians have studied Catholics' varied roles: as enslaved persons, slaveholders, defenders of slavery, and, in a few cases, advocates of abolition and emancipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of nine essays is divided into three sections: enslaved persons and slaveholders, debating abolition and emancipation, and historians and historiography. The studies, many of which are informed by recent archival discoveries, offer a model for historians seeking to understand the relationship between slavery and the Church, not only topically but in terms of methods, contexts, and resources. They contribute to a broader appreciation of religion's role in race-based slavery and, in doing so, will assist scholars, teachers, and students in the contemporary discussion involving slavery, racism, and their legacies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSlavery and the Catholic Church in the United States\u003c\/em\u003e witnesses to the fragility of humanity, which is capable of freedom or slavery, brotherhood or hatred.
