I read somewhere that in the New World the Inquisition did not have any natives put to death for heresy (they may have done that to Spanish immigrants or those of entirely Spanish ancestry). I guess they made allowances for the natives’ ability to absorb the fine points of dogma.
I’ve read that, too-the Natives made great converts because those priests were very well trained at tying local beliefs and characters into the Catholic doctrine-they had been doing that with pagan societies everywhere they went since the days of the Holy Roman empire...
