Gelo's Mind

“Therefore ,black brothers, the slavery you suffer, however hard and griding it may be, or seems to be to you, is not total slavery or the enslavement of everything you are, but rather half slavery. Your are slaves in our exterior part, which is the body; however, in the other interior and nobler half, the soul, … you are not a slave, but free. ”
— Father Antonio Vieira. The use of Catholicism to justify slavery in Brazil.
