Best Answer

Christopher Columbus was looking for a trade route to India and the East in general. Instead he found the "new world". As was the custom at the time all of Columbus' ships carried clergy and they brought the Catholic faith to the various islands, as well as North and Central America. The Christianization of these countries, along with all of South America can all found their genesis in Columbus' voyages.
