Christopher Columbus had a deep reverence for the Roman Catholic Church, viewing it as a divine institution guiding his explorations. He believed his voyages were part of a divine mission to spread Christianity and sought the Church's support for his expeditions. His writings often reflect a strong faith and a desire to convert Indigenous peoples to Christianity, indicating that he saw his work as aligned with the Church's mission. Overall, Columbus's relationship with the Church was integral to his identity and motivations as an explorer.

The Catholic priest who accompanied Christopher Columbus on his first voyage in 1492 was Father Juan Pérez de Marchena. He served as a chaplain on the expedition and played a role in the spiritual guidance of the crew. His presence was part of the broader mission to spread Christianity to the new lands that Columbus sought to explore.
