The other major economic function of the church was a provider of education, health care and poor relief to the general population. a great part of its income and manpower was employed in these activities. religious orders such as the jesuits and the dominicans would use profits from their haciendas to finance their schools, seminaries and colleges. a large number of orders, male and female, worked on this basis, running educational and training establishments which were fee-paying for the wealthy but free for the poor. others operated hospitals, hospices for the mentally ill and the dying, poor houses, orphanages, shelters for homeless girls, and suchlike. the church therefore played an important economic role as a circulator of capital, as a profit-making concern, and as a supplier of social services
