redneck_penguinOh wow! Quote from wikipedia article on Pope Nicholas V
"Nicholas issued the bull "Dum Diversas" (18 June 1452) in response to a request from the Portuguese monarchy. King Alfonso V was conferred the right to "attack, conquer, and subjugate Saracens, Pagans and other enemies of Christ wherever they may be found." It gave title over all lands and possessions seized and permitted the Portuguese to abduct the inhabitants and consign them to perpetual slavery."
