While they are not necessarily against riches, they probably don't make riches (Gold) first on their list of priorities.Īs it turned out, placing a greater emphasis on Gold and Glory put whole societies and people groups in terrible situations, and it's not hard to imagine that those who were conquered, perhaps didn't think much of the conqueror's religious beliefs - so, the net result of the endeavors would end up being just Gold and Glory. Those who place God first, give all Glory to God, and love other people deeply. Had the conquistadors and those who sent them placed God first in their thinking and their efforts, then perhaps there would never have been any conquering of lands and peoples - just missionary work. Keep going straight, keep your speed steady. More translations and examples : seguir todo recto, continuar recto. Usted puede seguir de frente, no dar una vuelta. It would seem that the spread of religious belief (specifically the Catholic religion) was indeed a part of the conquests, but you might note the order of those words. You could keep going straight, or take a turn.
I've read that the reasons for Spanish conquest could be summed up with three words: 'Gold, Glory, God.'
