Document Summary
When we talk about the church we are talking about the catholic church. We can"t just assume everyone within the church agrees with each other, because sometimes they don"t. Religious orders fighting each other, not always in agreement. Difference between a cathedral and a church. This is where the tithe money is going. Each one has a head of the order. These two parallel organizations respond to the pope or the bishop. Theoretically, missionaries (regular clergy) came into the new world and converted the natives, then the secular clergy moves in, then the missionaries move to the next area. First order to arrive in new spain (area of mexicans), franciscans. If the top native converts, all under them will convert. No jesuits at the beginning, order is established the middle of the 16th century. Each of these orders is different, they each have their own goals. Jesuits, organized as an army, a lot of discipline, fight the protestants intellectually.
