Question

What interest would a Catholic Cardinal have in settling a new land?

secondary education
religious converts
language acquisition
cultural immersion

Answer 1

It is either religious converts or cultural immersion. I am thinking religious converts more, though.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. religious converts

Step-by-step explanation:

A Catholic Cardinal would be interested in religious converts because during imperial expansion, missionaries set out to convert natives as new members of the catholic religion, and thus their empire. The expansion of Catholic churches throughout the new colonized lands meant the spread of Western culture and values, either peacefully or by forceful means.
