How did the Catholic Church use religion in the colonies in the Americas? What are some of the traditions that developed in Mexico?

the catholic church made the people who were in it feel better then everyone else because they were the ¨right religion¨ and many people joined looking for a church and the people in the church would invite others and look down upon people who didn´t go and some would go on missions to native american and mexican towns and preach about the church. Many mexicans today are catholic and follow that religion

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
