On #1 1. in what ways did columbus hope to convert the people he met to christianity?

Columbus believed to be a man chosen by God to realize a great action. Such was the conviction with which he defended his theories that some really saw him as the enlightened one.

He interviewed, as if he were a prophet, the possibility of navigating to the west, to find the Cathay described by Marco Polo, but also to discover places that nobody had ever visited before.

He based his theories on Ptolemy's studies, and although he made calculation errors that made him conceive a much smaller distance between Spain and Cathay, he was convinced that he would crystallize his dreams without any doubt.

The expansion of the Gospel of Christ was not out of his plans either. He did not forget that his name meant "he who leads to Christ", and he also wanted to achieve this purpose. And it is not that we can say that he became an evangelizer, but his work opened the way to the possibility that others would bring the knowledge of the true God and salvation in Jesus to so many millions of natives of the New World.

It is undeniable that both Columbus and the Catholic Monarchs considered the expansion of the Catholic faith as one of the goals to be achieved with the exploration and discovery of new lands. It is enough to review the documents and letters of Columbus himself and others to fully demonstrate this assertion.

And although it is true that the ecclesiastic did not accompany the Admiral on his first trip, it was not because he prevented it, but because none of them thought of volunteering for the aim.

However, on the second trip there were twelve, presided over by Father Fernando Boil, Benedictine monk, who later would be a source of torment for the discoverer, since he was not at ease in La Española and preferred to leave the island along with some enemies of Columbus, to later give rigged reports in the Spanish Court.
