* Cortez reluctantly yielded to these remon- strances of an ecclesiastic whose wisdom and virtue he was compelled to respect. The man- ifest pressure of circumstances also undoubted- ly had their influence. But this ardent reform- er could not yield without entering his protest. "We can not, " he said, "I admit, change the heart, but we can demolish these abomin- able idols, clamoring for their hecatombs of hu- man victims, and we can introduce in their stead the blessed Virgin and her blessed ...child. * " When Reverend Father Olmedo, who was a wise and good theologian, heard this, being averse to forced conversions, notwithstanding it had been done in Zempoalla, he advised Cortez to urge it no farther at present. He also observed that the destruction of their idols was a fruitless violence if the principle was not eradicated from their minds by argu- ments, as they would find other idols to continue their wor- ship to elsewhere.
