From Wikipedia:
"Latter-day Saint scholar Brant Gardner, after investigating the
link between Quetzalcoatl and Jesus, concluded that the
association amounts to nothing more than folklore. In a 1986
paper for Sunstone, he noted that during the Spanish Conquest,
the Native Americans and the Catholic priests who sympathized
with them felt pressure to link Native American beliefs with
Christianity, thus making the Native Americans seem more human
and less savage. Over time, Quetzalcoatl's appearance, clothing,
malevolent nature, and status among the gods were reshaped to fit
a more Christian framework."
