Spanish evangelization freed the indigenous people from the barbarity of paganism, cannibalism, and perverted sexuality, bringing them the salvation of their souls.
Your nations have remained faithful to their faith and traditions
I congratulate you and all of the Bishops of Spanish America, because your nations […] have remained faithful to their faith and traditions. With this act of fidelity, which today you manifest toward Spain, you show your recognition of the debt of gratitude that you owe it, and that you praise; because unlike other peoples who, being favored by God, have nonetheless turned their backs to the Vicar of Christ, showing themselves to be extremely ungrateful, Spain, despite all difficulties, has always remained faithful to the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman religion, and, will surely remain so in the future. (Pius X. Allocution, November 22, 1908)
Pope Leo XIII
Hundreds of thousands were reborn to eternal life, since Columbus willed intensely to propagate the Gospel to new lands
From the midst of the unexplored ocean, thanks to him [Christopher Columbus], arose a new world: hundreds of thousands of creatures, who were forgotten and in darkness have been reintroduced into the human family, from barbarism they were led to meekness and civilization: and, what is more important, from lost that thery were, they have been reborn to eternal life through the communication of the benefits that Jesus Christ brought forth. […] In effect, it is clear that he understood and willed this intensely: to open the way of the Gospel to new lands and new seas. (Leo XIII. Encyclical Quarto Abeunte Saeculo, June 16, 1892)
The principles of the Catholic religion were carried by the ships of Columbus
Keeping this thought constantly in view, his first solicitude, wherever he disembarked, was to plant upon the shore the sacred emblem of the cross. Wherefore, like as the Ark of Noah, surmounting the overflowing waters, bore the seed of Israel together with the remnants of the human race, even thus did the barks launched by Columbus upon the ocean carry into regions beyond the seas as well the germs of mighty States as the principles of the Catholic religion. (Leo XIII. Encyclical Longinqua Oceani, On Catholicism in the United States, January 6, 1895)
