Why did European empire builders seek support from the Roman Catholic Church as they began their global expansion efforts?(1 point)
Responses
The Roman Catholic Church was so powerful that European countries did not feel it possible to do anything without its support.
European leaders thought they might need help from the Roman Catholic Church to fight against Indigenous peoples.
Colonized peoples refused to accept European control unless it was supported by a higher power.
Having support from such a powerful organization helped European empire builders feel like God supported their work and would help them.
