You gotta give the faithful something for their money.The Catholic Church as a whole agrees with Saint Loyola that people are more inclined to worship in a Church that is awe inspiring over one that is plain and unadorned.

I have an abiding interest in the Jesuits. Not that I’m all that well studied in the particularly, but they do keep popping up in readings of philosophical/historical literature. As far as their activities in the southwest, of any hidden treasures or their mining activities ect… I plead my ignorance. But after perusing this thread I’ve learning much!
I read your expulsion part of the Jesuits with interest. Recently I was reading a historical account that mentioned a Jesuit expulsion. So after reading your list I went back to reference what I had read earlier. There was an expulsion of the Jesuits from France in 1594. It had to do with an attempted assassination of King Henry IV, I believe. Well the referenced material really doesn’t give much more details. I know this is not of interest to many--- but thought you might like to know gollum. Or, you may already know of this? If not, maybe you or your scholarly friends could supply more details?
O and the discussion of Jesus’ poverty and if that necessarily mean the Church should be ---
is of immense interest---
and a centuries old debate!!!

The reason I don't go into that is the same reason I don't also go into the English Jesuit involvement in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 (and other intrigues in many Asian Countries). First, it is not my intention to smear the Jesuits Name. Second, it has nothing to do with the Jesuits Mining/Refining/Hiding Treasure in Nueva Espana.
All my references are strictly in the context of Treasure Hunting.HAHAHA
