Best Answer

The CIA World Factbook tells us the following about Spain: Religions: Roman Catholic 94%, other 6% The 'Other' figure there is made up of: a few thousand Jews, mostly Sephardics, who left the countries of North Africa to settle in the larger urban centers like Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla and Cordoba. Spain also has some Anglicans.

According to Photius.com: In a population of about 39 million, the number of non-Catholics was probably no more than 300,000. About 250,000 of these were of other Christian faiths, including several Protestant denominations, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons. The number of Jews in Spain was estimated at about 13,000. More than 19 out of every 20 Spaniards were baptized Catholics; about 60 percent of them attended Mass; about 30 percent of the baptized Catholics did so regularly, although this figure declined to about 20 percent in the larger cities. As of 1979, about 97 percent of all marriages were performed according to the Catholic religion. A 1982 report by the church claimed that 83 percent of all children born the preceding year had been baptized in the church.

During the "Age of Exploration" western European countries were both "exploring" + "colonizing"

Colonies spoke the language of the so-called Fatherland or Motherland and observed the religion of the Fatherland or Motherland.

New England (Massachusetts, etc.) was a colony of England and thus spoke English and was Protestant.

New Orleans (Louisiana named after King Louis of France - Orleans is a city in France) was a colony of France and thus spoke French and was Catholic.

Quebec (Canada) was a colony of France and thus spoke French and was Catholic.

British Columbia (Canada) was a colony of the British and thus spoke English and was Protestant.

Nueva Espana (New Spain) was a colony of Spain and thus spoke Spanish and was Catholic: (see link below)

ALL "New World" colonies of Spain were Catholic and spoke Spanish.

Brazil? Brazil speaks Portuguese because it was a colony of Portugal.

While Spain and neighboring Portugal speak different languages (Spanish + Portuguese), both are Catholic - so, yes, Brazil is Catholic but not Spanish speaking.
