Christian;
I have to question the idea that the Jesuits had gold (of their own), for what purpose. It is my understanding that they were the 'militant' arm of the church, and mostly fanatical in their religious outlook... gold is "worldly."
They may, conceivably, have been charged with the care of 'treasure,' for some 'Seigneur,' but gold was not that plentiful. Copper, however, has historically been mentioned, in large pieces, even. It is more likely they may have secreted silver church acoutrements, which has been the case, for centuries.
I am assuming you know something you are not telling. Good, I like secrets. By the way, the arm of the church, in the bad old days, here, was the order of 'Oblate Fathers,' and no, I'm not and never have been Catholic.
