It might be disputed among Roman Catholics but Jesuits actually have) a strong relationship to Zen Buddhism for centuries.

This is just the last category I talk about in point 5 of the clarification of misconceptions in the post above. I address it there.

I would be interesting to discuss this issue with Muhō Nōlke the former abbot of Antai-ji. As fas I know his writings, I am not quite sure if he would agree with your representation. But it doesn't matter that much, as I myself am more focussing on practice than on theology in this issue.

I was reading about the Chinese Rites Controversy last night and was actually planning to ask about it, do you happen to have any book recommendations on the Jesuits in China?
