II. Respect for Persons and Their Goods

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2414
The seventh commandment forbids acts or enterprises that for any reason –
selfish or ideological, commercial, or totalitarian – lead to the enslavement
of human beings, to their being bought, sold and exchanged like merchandise, in
disregard for their personal dignity. It is a sin against the dignity of
persons and their fundamental rights to reduce them by violence to their productive
value or to a source of profit. St. Paul directed a Christian master to treat
his Christian slave “no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a
beloved brother, . . . both in the flesh and in the Lord.”¹⁹³
