you really don't have to go so far back in time - are we using our resources today to benefit people, health, education, housing? Who are you kidding?
And by the way, religions (none of them) don't do any harm. They are all beautiful philosophies. It's the organizations (churches) and the humans
running them who used them to get rich and suppress people. It's like the very rich today who sold you on the idea (religion?) of capitalism - it's
benefitting them. Not you. Wake up!

No, not implying not to have the discussion. Just would like to see it moved to a different place as its own thread, so this thread can continue as a
photo thread.

if you ever have a chance to track down the padre in San Ignacio, ask him to show you the roof of the mission. It is absolutely stunning!
Religion, churches or what have you - enchanting buildings created by humans are just that - enchanting! Bottom line is, WE did this. Be proud of your
forefathers.

Right on! Sanitize it! Like TV. Just watch it. Don't think.

A worthy discussion, for sure. Looking at the beauty of these structures is also mixed with great sadness for me.
4x4, I loved the roof of San Ignacio. The gentleman with the juice garden took me up there. A must see.

who do you think built the Hoover Dam or the Eiffel Tower?
Definitely not fairly paid citizens. Underpaid Americans are just that - indigenous slaves.
I know, too controversial, too political. Needs to be moved to the "off topic" corner where nobody participates.
Why do you think the country is in trouble (not only ours)? Because nobody wants to talk about it.

That's about the best picture I've seen of the San Roque chapel. And taken just in time. It's being rebuilt.

More meaningful & historical scenes from the mission at San Ignacio.
A work-a-day Catholic church in downtown Mulege that has accomplished great works over the years...like getting us to Mass after a very long absence.

Would it be San Luis Gonzaga? I have never been to that one, sadly!

How about a photo sphere of in the inside of the Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé.
Click and drag this bad boy to look around. Up, down, zoom in/out.
