All of the Indian pueblos were properly missions, insisted Bullones. Even the Indians who had long been Christian were too poor to support a priest. They paid nothing for their weddings, nuptial Masses, or funerals. Instead, the doctrineros provided them with "candles and shrouds out of their own small stipends and said their Masses for nothing, "for they have never known or had the wherewithal to pay any of those obventions, or the tithes either, which have not been the custom in those provinces, nor do they have the fruits with which to do it" (Bullones, 1728). (Bushnell SS)
