Bartolomé de las Casas’s famous 1552 Confesionario sought to employ the power of the Church and the confessional to wrest some small measure of justice for the native peoples who suffered from the Spaniards’ rapacious greed. In doing so, Las Casas articulated an innovative theology that declared that all Spaniards who had participated in, or benefited from, the conquest and exploitation of native peoples lived in mortal sin. Before permitting them to participate in the sacrament of absolution, Las Casas required them to make legally binding public declarations of their guilt, with the promise of full restitution for the spiritual and physical damage they had done. Only then could they be absolved of their sins.

巴托洛梅·德·拉斯·卡萨斯（Bartoloméde las Casas）著名的1552 Confesionario试图利用教会和the悔室的力量，为遭受西班牙人野蛮贪婪之苦的土著人民争取一点正义。这样做时，卡萨斯（Las Casas）提出了一种创新的神学，宣称所有参与征服和剥削土著人民或从中受益的西班牙人都生活在致命的罪恶之中。在允许他们参加赦免圣礼之前，Las Casas要求他们作出有罪约束力的公开声明，并承诺对他们所遭受的精神和身体伤害予以充分赔偿。只有这样，他们才能赦免自己的罪过。
