Alejandro Murguía in "The Medicine of Memory" wrote that Jesuit missions in New Spain were averse to controlling native labor. When Franciscans and Dominicans took over after the expulsion of the Jesuits, their missions _did_ rely on the compelled labor of missionized natives.
What was the theological(?) disagreement between Jesuits and Franciscans that led to their diametrical policies with regard to native labor?
