According to historian Benigno Palomo, in 1669, one of the main missions of the Spanish soldiers and missionaries was to exalt "the Catholic faith" and that "the people living in islands and land of this sort, you will and ought to bring to the Christian religion", from the Bill of Partition issued by Pope Alexander VI.
根据历史学家Benigno Palomo的研究，1669年，西班牙士兵和传教士们的一项主要任务就是提升“天主教信仰”，并且“居住在岛屿和陆地上的此等人民，你将要且必须要使他们皈依天主教”，这来自教宗亚历山大六世发表的分割法案(Bill of Partition)。
