Cortez banned the old religion in order to convert the Mayans to Christianity. One of the Spanish bishops, Diego de Landa, ordered all Mayan texts burned and suppressed any remnants of pagan beliefs with such vigour that he was for a time recalled to Spain on charges of improper harshness. The Mayans found themselves unable to practise their ancient faith for fear of the Spanish, and only four copies of their scriptures had somehow escaped the hands of the bishops. They became economically dependent on the Spanish and attendance at church was also expected of them. From then on, accepting Christianity was relatively easy.
