St Patrick & Slavery

Quote:Yes, I enjoyed that book too.

Conal, have you tried the Letter to Coroticus? Here's an exerpt:

Quote:I do not know why I should say or speak further about the departed ones of the sons of God, whom the sword has touched all too harshly. For Scripture says: "Weep with them that weep;" and again: "If one member be grieved, let all members grieve with it." Hence the Church mourns and laments her sons and daughters whom the sword has not yet slain, but who were removed and carried off to faraway lands, where sin abounds openly, grossly, impudently. There people who were freeborn have, been sold, Christians made slaves, and that, too, in the service of the abominable, wicked, and apostate Picts!

yes ... all that I can find involves "taking slaves" as in raiding others but nothing saying that they sold their own women into slavery. I have seen something which stated that St P admonished those who did just that.
