Vatican Action

Vatican Action

A meeting with the Roman Catholic Church on the issue of accountability for its role in initiating and facilitating the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

The Global Circle held a meeting at The Vatican in Rome, Italy with key Vatican Leadership. We issued a formal Reparations Presentment and discussed a plan for accountability for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in the initiation of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Out of this meeting, the cohort developed, with input from Vatican leadership, an engagement strategy and list of contacts of key individuals and groups from the Roman Catholic Church around the world.

Vatican Presentment

"The call of reparations is not merely for a check to be written or for a debt to be repaid but for a world to be repaired."
