Answer: It is possible that the process of spreading Christianity would be more successful.
Explanation:
From the psychological point of view, one can make a strong assumption that the influence of Catholicism among the natives would be more successful if the spread of Catholicism proceeded more liberally.
The destruction of customs, the decimation of entire tribes, the exploitation, and infectious diseases that Europeans brought to the continent certainly created an additional dose of resistance to Catholicism among the Indians.
