Reply to comment by [deleted] in The Catholic Church took a fresh step Thursday in acknowledging abuse endured by Indigenous peoples with the Vatican formally rejecting 15th-century papal edicts that empowered Europeans to colonize non-Christian lands by DoremusJessup

it was one of their rules was before any violence was ensued they most first try to convince the natives to become subordinates to the king and church ie becoming good catholics of course the conquistadors were hypocrites as mentioned above because when the pope told them he did not like what they were doing in the name of the church they ignored /complained
