Answer:

Catholicism

Step-by-step explanation:

Portugal and Spain spread Catholicism for the "new world" - the central and southern americas. Through the practice of catechesis, the Spaniards and the Portuguese forced native Indians to abandon their beliefs and adhere to Catholic practices so that they could save their souls.
