- zeld4 1y agoI read a few biographies for western missionaries to Asia, they all ended up get paid handsomely, except those not lived long enough see that day.
- throwup238 1y agoThe missionaries to Latin America that followed the conquistadors were largely Dominicans, Franciscans, etc who took vows of poverty. A few got encomiendas but they were by far the exception. Few missionaries got rich on that continent.
