Complete the sentence about Roman Catholicism in the Philippines with the correct year: In ______, the Culhuacán convent in Mexico City issued a religious warrant establishing the first branch of the order in the Philippines.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 1564

The Spanish Crown first entrusted the conversion of Filipino natives to the Augustinians. In 1564 the Culhuacán convent in Mexico City issued a religious warrant that set up the first branch of the order in the Philippines. The Legazpi expedition sailed the following year, in 1565, so a date such as 1567 would be after it had already set out.
