There have been several popes named Alexander. However, if you are referring to Pope Alexander VI, he never gave his approval to the practice of slavery. However, some reading his papal bulls twisted their meanings and decided that Alexander had given Spain and Portugal the right to enslave the natives of countries they had conquered in the New World in order to force them to convert to Catholicism.
