This was important for the religious and cultural identity of the French people. Secondly, the Catholic Priests were some of the first colonists in New France and they wanted to spread the word of God. By allowing only Catholics to immigrate, the King ensured that the colony would be predominantly Catholic and that the Catholic faith would be promoted and preserved in the new territory.
