And Ben, the Papal Bulls Dum Diversas and Romanus Pontifex said that slavery was alright as long as not done to fellow Christians. If it was good, clearly they would not have made the distinction between Christians and non Christians. It was tolerated, in the sense that it was understood to be an evil. Paul even clarifies and says - "if you can go, then go". But he stops short from commanding the slaves to leave.
