Catholicism was central to both Philip II and the Spanish people, serving as a unifying force in a diverse empire. For Philip II, it was not only a personal faith but also a political tool to legitimize his rule and expand Spanish influence, particularly through the Counter-Reformation. The Spanish populace largely identified with Catholicism, which shaped their culture, identity, and resistance against Protestantism. Overall, the faith reinforced loyalty to the monarchy and the notion of a divinely ordained mission for Spain.

What religious impact did the Spanish have on the Incas?
Prior to the conquest of the Inca Empire by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro, the Inca worshipped pagan gods. Apparently their sun god was the most important pagan god. The Spanish were mostly Roman Catholics and Catholic missionaries did their best to introduce Catholicism to the Native American Tribes they encountered. Certainly this would have been a monumental task. For the most part many Native Americans who intermarried with Spanish people were converted over time to Catholicism.
