William the Conqueror did not bring Catholicism to England, as Christianity had already been established in the country since the early medieval period. However, his conquest in 1066 significantly strengthened the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in England. William worked closely with the Church, reforming ecclesiastical structures and promoting the appointment of Norman bishops, which aligned English practices more closely with those of continental Europe. This laid the groundwork for greater integration of English religious practices with the broader Catholic Church.

How was William the Conqueror ruthless?

Who says he was? William was not popular with the Saxon people he had conquered, but what conquerer is? William brought considerable order and structure to England and stopped the Viking raids which had been plaguing the country for centuries. So, you could argue that he brought peace rather than brutality to the country. I have no record of him being any more brutal than any monarch of that age. Conquest is a brutal businesses. William's reputation for brutality stemmed from his response to uprisings in England after the conquest, where he laid whole sections of England to waste. Overall, William was not noted for brutality, at least not any more than other kings of the age. More than anything, William was calculating and a pragmatist. This type of response was the most practical and efficient way to bring England under his control. He had to gain respect and control. This was the only way he could think of doing it.
