LOL by force.

The spanish must have been effective preaching the wording latin. I think Montezuma went to the seminary in Madrid to learn it.

Present evidence the spanish said mass in latin and not spanish or indian languages with an indian intrerpreter or stop making crap up.

You area a pentecost denier admit it and cleanse yourself. And stop spinning and hypothesizing?

You are lazy and therefore take wild guesses. You are devoid of any history background or even common sense on how you would approach people and convert them, Your entire point belies centuries of the mission experience in a Africa and asia. and abut spain you are flat out wrong. Please remove your self from this discourse so the serious amounts us can proceed. here is something you didn’t take 5 minutes to ask your search engine. Before you apologize and walk away humbled, consider how dangerous not would be to be outnumbered in a land across the ocean and not learn the local language to make sure THEY are not plotting to kill you in your sleep.

FROM WIKI The European colonizers and their successor states had widely varying attitudes towards Native American languages. In Brazil, friars learned and promoted the Tupi language.[6] In many Latin American colonies, Spanish missionaries often learned local languages and culture in order to preach to the natives in their own tongue and relate the Christian message to their indigenous religions. In the British American colonies, John Eliot of the Massachusetts Bay Colony translated the Bible into the Massachusett language, also called Wampanoag, or Natick (1661–1663; he published the first Bible printed in North America, the Eliot Indian Bible.

For you edification, the missionaries to the early Americas were primarily either French or Spanish; Latin was not their conversant language.

But both the French and the Spanish missionary priests offered their Masses in Latin, as did they in their homelands.

It is well known these missionaries learned the native tongue of the the people in order to evangelize them. And many of them suffered martyrdom for their efforts. They did not attempt to evangelize in Latin.

I am not a Pentecost denier; but you appear to be a reality denier; another "blessing" of Vatican II.
