The Spanish priest known for advocating the conversion of Native Americans to Christianity through love, gentleness, and kindness was Bartolomé de las Casas. Initially a colonist, he later became a Dominican friar and a vocal defender of indigenous rights, arguing against their mistreatment and advocating for their peaceful conversion. His writings and efforts significantly influenced the debate on the ethical treatment of Native Americans during the Spanish colonization.
