//__ Brazils church __// Christianity begain in brazil during the 1490, when spain introduced moral codes, baptism, the mass, the after life (hevan and hell), concepts of good and evil, and so on… The Latin amarican people were forced into slavery, even the church had its servents (slaves) called flocks. The Jesuits were convinced that the Latin Americans people had once known the true faith, but had been led astray by Satan. These missions then, were to “lead back” or “reduce” the Latin Americans to Christianity. The order was finually bansied in 1773

The removal of the Jesuit influence brought on a series of local uprisings. John Gunther states that the Catholic Church grew rich and decadent in America. Now a day about 95% of Brazilians (excluding the uncontacted tribes) are catholic. And the church has a great influence in Brazil, though the corrupt times especially.
