Actually, the Catholic Priest Bartolome De Las Casas said in 1556, that it exhibited more how much they LOVED their ‘god’ and in this way were willing to show great respect. His spin on it was that it showed how enamored with their deities, and not how little they cared for the little ones. Uhmnnnn.

This is not news. And by the way Celts, Romans, and other Europeans routinely sacrificed people as well. In 1342 when Gediminas, Grand Duke of Lithuania (an ancestor of nearly all subsequent European royalty), died, he was accompanied to the afterlife by some servants and slaves.

Latin America pinglist. In response to your comment, before the advent of Christianity, Europe also murdered their sons and daughters.
And Americans and others do so today--it's just called abortion now.

The Carthaginians practiced child sacrifice (as did the Phoenicians in the mother country).
One of the earliest Europeans to visit the Maya ruins thought that the Maya glyphs were Carthaginian writing. Maybe the Carthaginians got to Mexico after all.

This just can’t be true. They were just nature-loving indigenous people. The Spaniards probably did this just to make them look bad.
