Two Florida school officials won't go to jail for praying

Conquistadors were not the only Europeans that considered indigenous non-European people animals. It had more to do with power and politics than Christ, and even then the Catholic churches land grabs, money grabs, and political maneuvering around The Holy Roman Empire had very little to do with Christian values.

Not many Conquistadores were involved in Autos-da-Fe. They weren't generally a super religious lot. No, that can be laid at the doorstep of the missionaries - obviously, overtly, dogmatically Christians, doing it all the name of the good lord. At least in much of colonial Latin America, they were often performed when there was no political motive at all - indeed, the encomenderos were generally quite miffed that their labour force was being alienated by excessive violence for no reason but religion.
