Pastorale Officium

Pastorale Officium was a Apostolic Brief issued by Pope Paul III , May 29, 1537, to Cardinal Juan Pardo de Tavera which declares that anyone who enslaved or despoled indigenous Americans would be automatically excommunicated.[1][2][3] It was subsequently annulled the following year in "Non Indecens Videtur" after complaints by Charles V arguing tha it was injurious to the Imperial right of colonization and harmful to the peace of the Indies.[4] The weakened position of the pope and the memory of the Sack of Rome (1527) a decade earlier by imperial troops , made the ecclesiastical authorities hesitant in engaging in any possible confrontation with the Emperor.[5]

The Pastorale Officium has been seen as a companion document for the papal bull Sublimis Deus.[6][7]
