     Yes, the classic Willy Sutton  response.  " 'Cause that's where the
sinners are."


And I might add that, among Catholic religious orders, the Jesuits are sort of
considered the shock troops, known for going out into the profane world, even
assuming disguises if such extreme measures should be necessary. I vaguely
recall reading somewhere that unlike Dominicans, Franciscans, etc., no specific
religious garb is prescribed for them.
