Dm,
I believe that the Jesuits absolutely did make death traps...!
I do however agree with Dsty that the caches were well hidden, my opinion is that the caches of the Kings Quint might not be trapped, as the could not afford to have one of the Kings recovery crew killed, I do beleive that the actually gold mine itself was certainly death trapped!...
As far as it being against their nature..well
have you ever heard of the Spanish Inquisition?? Whom do you think ran the show? for centuries of mayhem, torture slavery and cruelty/
yea I know..lots of facts fade into legend, then over the centuries, with spin and propaganda it is totally forgotten or thought unlikely.....
"While the Society of Jesus was the chief new instrument of the Catholic Reformation, an old instrument of the church was also employed—the Inquisition. This special ecclesiastical court in its papal form had been started in the thirteenth century to put down the Albigensian heresy, and in its Spanish form in the fifteenth century to bolster the efforts of the new Spanish monarchy to force religious uniformity on its subjects. Both papal and Spanish inquisitions were medieval courts that used medieval methods of torture, and both were employed against the Protestants in the sixteenth century."

As with the Inquisition, the actually torture was preform by the Secular Jesuits, ie, one of the brothers that did not take the vows of the Priesthood, there were many many secular Jesuits in the New World, they were the mining engineers, cartographers ect..so the devious death traps were likely constructed by the Secular Brothers.
sometimes rediscovering the truth can set[your thinking] free.....

Matthew 7:3. The zeal of persecutors, and often of pretended reformers, may be far from proof that they are free from the very offences which they are condemning in others.
