The essay deals with the conduct of the Congregation de Propaganda fide during two crises (1679-86 and 1794-95) provoked by four apostolic missionaries due to their anti-slavery positions: the four Capuchin missionaries doubted the doctrine of «just title servitude», preached, and acted – while giving no absolutions to slaves’ owners – against the slave trade and against the exploitation of Native Americans and Africans in the Americas, the Antilles and on the coasts of West-Central Africa. The Capuchins were silenced by various players in the overseas empires and in Europe. Their questioning of slavery provoked divergent and opposing reactions in Rome, as the Congregation of the Holy Office, Propaganda fide, and the popes had different and uneven reactions, taking different decisions for or against slavery.
