Studies Jesuit attitudes, practices and institutions relating to religious conversion of indigenous peoples in New Spain and their veiled disapproval of "evangelization" in favor of religious education in Jesuit schools. Notes that private correspondence and internal documents reveal marked distrust of coerced conversion by missions, much in contrast to triumphant official reports to hierarchy in Europe.
