The Americas were held by Spain. The King was Catholic. Not only was he Catholic, the King of Spain organized the Catholic League that drove the Moslems from the Mediterranean.

He was actually quite popular in a strange sort of way, and certainly well respected.

For a period he was King of England.

His son, however, sought to eliminate disputes and carved up North America among his favorites, and others.

The Protestant Reformation in Spain was stopped in its tracks when The King of Spain allowed ALL the priestly orders to conduct missions in the Americas. In Spain you had all the noble families (Which was where the priests came from) leading the Protestant Reformation ~
