Joe:
Since there was no reason for the Jesuit Order to set foot within the Supe's, I am inclined to agree with your assessment.
But your failure to find any connection between the order itself and the Supe's does not eliminate the possibility of a Jesuit origin for the stones.Or that such a connection did once exist.
The presence of Christian symbolism on the stones,and the evidence that the Jesuits used these symbols long before the stones were made public may also be considered circumstantial. But the fact that they appear both on the stones and in Jesuit works does suggest a link between the stones and someone familiar with the symbology used by Jesuits.This does not mean someone other than a Jesuit may have carved the stones,but we ALL use circumstantial links in part,to formulate our theories.
"it would follow that I don't put any stock in your theory, especially since it seems to need the Latin Heart and some mysterious unknown/unseen additions to the Stone Maps."
My theory like your own,does not require the Latin Heart in order to find the exact location of the heart pocket on the Trail Stones.Nor does it require,contrary to your assertions, the creation of any "mysterious unknown/unseen additions" to any of the stones.
But my theory does...unlike your own... account for the suitability of both a removable primary heart (suggesting a hiding place under the heart)as well as the existence of geographical features which match the descriptions of those listed upon the Latin Heart (allowing anyone in possession of the L/H to re-locate other resources which may have been useful to a recovery team).
