    The document discusses the concept of freedom and servitude from a Catholic perspective. It makes three key points: 1) Slavery and servitude are prohibited as they violate human dignity and people's fundamental rights. All humans are created free by God. 2) Forced labor and other situations that exploit people or deprive them of their freedom against their will are considered forms of slavery that must be condemned. 3) True freedom is a gift from God and Jesus Christ, made possible through the Holy Spirit. It allows people to fulfill their purpose as children of God and live morally according to their conscience.

    Everyones Right to Freedom

    Throughout the world


    today, there is an unprecedented drive for freedom, for breaking out of all the old structures of political oppression, racial prejudice, economic injustice, and constricting cultural mores.

    Everyones Right to Freedom

    The demand is
    increasingly made that men should act on their own judgment, enjoying, and making use of a responsible freedom, not driven by coercion but motivated by a sense of duty

    Everyones Right to Freedom

    authentic sign of Gods presence and purpose for authentic freedom is an exceptional sign of the divine image within man (Gaudium et
    Spes 11, 17)

    are personal embodied spirits as embodied, we absolutely need food, shelter and clothing to survive. As personal spirits, we are born, grow up and mature within family and community interpersonal relationships, creating for us a cultural, not mere animal, life, under God, our personal, transcendent Creator-Redeemer.

    Vatican II describes our human situation

    Slavery: Hindrance of Freedom

    as follows: Therefore, there must be made available to all men everything necessary for leading a life truly human, such as food, clothing, and shelter; the right to choose a state of life freely and to found a family, the right to education, to employment, to a good reputation, to respect and to appropriate information, to activity in accordance with the upright norm of ones own conscience, to protection of privacy and to rightful freedom in matters religious, too (Gaudium et Spes 26).

    Slavery Violates Human Dignity

    Whatever insults human


    dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where men are treated as mere tools for profit, rather than as free and responsible persons;

    Slavery Violates Human Dignity
