Latin America is a predominantly Roman Catholic Religion. During the period between 1500 and 1800, the Catholic Church controlled all aspects of life in the Latin American colony from birth, marriage to death of all people. The church also controlled and owned most o the land in Latin America and further integrated commercial activities i.e., production of food, grape production, and weaving.
