True Kings and Queens wanted Jewerly but when they conquered keep in mind they brought religion with them. The reason Im asking is that we are readding about anglo, aztec ,well lets just say the Hispanic Culture... The book didn't say this but How did all those Hispanics Become Catholics. And What happened to all they gold/stones etc. did they just give it away

I think you've confused Catholicism with "The Pirates of the Caribbean."
That, or else you've been reading entirely too many Chick tracts again.

I was raised Catholic, though I am no longer Catholic. I do not know if anyone who was Catholic actually killed and stole to make the Catholic Religion popular. It seems unlikely though.
Every religion thinks they are correct, but I doubt most of us would kill or steal from others to prove it.

Exactly.......that is what I base my faith on..stolen jewelry.
Of course you base your religion on what? Sponge Bob Square Pants.
Do your research......what is wrong with people on this site?
My God says: "And when you pray, pray silently." Why are people so judgmental when they do not no what they are talking about?

Kings and queens worry about jewels. The church worries about souls.

There is a cetain amount of truth to it...though not as bad as some think. I can't imagine, however, that any plundering would lead to any group's popularity.

Yeah, catholic people slaughtered thousands of people that refused to convert, and stole whatever was valuable to them "for God". Today, they like to try to sugar-coat or minimize it, because they do not like to admit to wrong-doing.
