Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.

    The Bible is absolutely not up to interpretation regarding slavery. It is unambiguously pro-slavery.

      It is? It may be clear I’m no theologian. Have you any verses off hand?

      Edit: I went off and did some digging and it looks like you’re more or less spot on. There are verses in various parts of the old testament that just accept slavery as a thing.

      Some new testament bits are clearly anti-slavery though.

      Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.
