Panzeh posted:I wonder if the nature of Biblical punishments inspired Cortez and others' policies when they encountered indigenous people. No, not really. Church policy at the time was one that advocated conversion of indigenous peoples, rather than eradication. Unfortunately the patronato system meant that clergy in the new world were appointed by secular leaders rather than reporting to the Vatican. The Spaniards did use scripture to justify their actions, but this was pretty much theological acrobatics performed to make themselves feel good.

X-Wing is fun and religion is good. Went to AdeptiCon one day and church the next.
