Dominican Order
The Dominican Order is a Catholic order of friars founded by Saint Dominic in the early thirteenth century, dedicated to preaching and study. In the Spanish Empire, Dominican friars such as Bartolomé de las Casas criticised the abuse and enslavement of indigenous Americans, influencing debates such as the Valladolid Controversy and the New Laws of 1542.
