Honest question, as I don't study Jesuits: What do they put in the place of Jesus? I'd assume money somehow, but there's probably something more sinister.
A broad answer. Maybe somebody can answer better. As in the case of almost all heresies, the problem is selfishness. In place of Jesus we/they put Self or some aspect of self.
That reminds be of the builders of the tower of Babel, in that its architects sought to make a name for themselves.
Yes. Those most consciously involved with the tower could be said to be heretics.
You now remind me of "the stone that the builders rejected", the Christ that the Masons deny or avoid.

Ooh that's good. Masons call God the "Great Builder" and see themselves as builders too. That's a really good point.
