Game of Faith and Sin Taught by a Priest
In a Taos mission sequence, Father Acacia uses a card game to teach catechism to Candelaria and neophytes, blending religious symbols with Monte and mischief. The bishop supports the lesson until a commission transfers Acacia to Taos, while Candelaria and the governor pursue a romance amid hidden catechism lessons spreading to Santa Fe.

Father Acacio Gambles in Confessional Tale of Santa Cruz
In a Santa Cruz adobe cloister a weary Father Acacio distracts himself from catechism by solitaire and a local ghost gambling game called the ghost gamble. Candela ria, a young neophyte, interrupts with the bell, revealing a scene of faith, tradition, and tension between mission life and village temptations.
