Explanation:

Among the missionaries who came to America, there were different ideas on how to convert the indigenous people. Some simply thought of destroying the temples, banning the ancient rituals and punishing those who insisted on practicing them. Others believed that it was necessary to convince the Indians through preaching and example; to achieve this they should know the language and customs of each people and treat people humanely.

By 1600 "5,428 religious had passed into Spanish America." Later arrived Capuchins, Carmelites, Hieronymites, Trinitarians, Oratorians and Benedictines. But also the hospitable brothers of San Juan de Dios, from 1602, and the Bethlemites, from 1655. And, among the female religious orders, came Poor Clares, Augustinians, Carmelites and Franciscans, among others.

It is believed that at one time there were more priests in the New World than in the peninsula itself. Already in Cajamarca, at the time of the distribution of Atahualpa, the disproportion was evident: one priest for every 90 conquerors. In fact, remember that the clergyman Juan de Sosa and Fray Vicente Valverde were present.
