Original Note:
The clip suggests that it was only the Church in Ireland which owned slaves which is factually incorrect. Many Irish people were taken as slaves to places like Iceland Furthermore the church in Ireland played a major role in abolishing slavery in Irish society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Ireland#:~:text=When%20the%20Vikings%20established%20early,the%20founding%20population%2C%20and%20Anatolia. https://ctbi.org.uk/church-slavery-and-abolition/
