Years: 1462 - 1462
Pope Pius II condemns slavery of newly baptized Christians as a "great crime" in an address of 1462 to the local ruler of the Canary Islands.
Pius instructs bishops to impose penalties on transgressors.
Pius does not condemn the concept of trading in slaves, only the enslavement of the recently baptized, who represent a very small minority of those captured and taken to Portugal.
