From the time that Georgetown and the Jesuits sold slaves, including a 2 month old baby, in 1832 it took them 170 years before they were shamed into admitting this. That is not a track record that anyone should be proud of, no matter who is trying to defend them. Thomas J. Reese, SJ, did not discuss this until it was front page news (he was not the leader here but rather a follower). They are not the only Catholic organization that owned slaves. Since Catholicism is the largest religion in the U.S. this bit of history needs to be put on display in an African American museum in DC. If the Catholic Church and the Jesuits end up with egg dripping down their faces well so be it.
