Interestingly enough, there seems like there was a catholic pope  banning enslavement on pain of excommunication way back in 1435!

Well, to be fair the US didn't take too kindly to Catholicism, and our first Catholic president faced a lot of hardship getting the vote.  So being excommunicated from a church almost no one in the US wasn't a part of isn't exactly a big punishment  :P

That's pretty freaking interesting. I wonder how the other popes dealt with this Papal encyclic later down the road. Aren't those supposed to be the be-all end-all's of Catholic doctrine/Canonic Law? Can a Pope even refute another Pope's encyclic later down the road? I mean, they ARE the envoys of GOD on earth and what they speak is God's law on earth, basically, or i'm somewhat wrong here?

Over time Popes have refuted other Popes, that is a thing that can happen.

Not only can they do it, I believe there was one Pope at one time who had his predecessor's corpse dug up so he could conduct trial on a variety of crimes he supposedly committed, so... yeah.
