Question

The friars also studied traditional Indian beliefs, and then used those similarities to help explain _______________

(In time Spanish Conquistadors came to the Americas)

Answer 1

Christian ideas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Friars were the monks/Christian missionaries that followed Spanish army during the colonization period. They're assigned by the empire to help spread Christianity in American continent.

By the time they arrive there, Native Indians already have their own concept of deity. Since there's a language barrier, it was hard for the friars to spread the teaching to the Native Indians. One tactic that the Friars use to communicate is by learning traditional Indian beliefs and use the similarities between the Indian beliefs and the bible as a basic concept to communicate Christian teachings.
