What impact did the introduction of catholicism have on the lives of indigenous people
Anna11 [10]

Answer: spiritual and cultural change

Explanation:

Early missionaries sought to convert and change the culture of indigenous people. Later, Christians and Catholics realized that stripping indigenous people of their culture did not lead to satisfying spiritual relationships. For example, consider a Christian missionary who demands that a man of several wives give up all wives except one. The rejectied wives become homeless and penniless. They are confused as to why a loving God would want them to be alone and rejected when they had simply followed their cultural norms and were very happy doing so. The disruption created great confusion and misunderstanding of the attributes of God.
