So it did appear that there was possibly a kind of Force-Sensitive order here on Earth; the way that Sanzo spoke of it, the priests were gifted with other than human "powers".
"Jedi are capable of using the Force to sometimes influence others," Qui-Gon said. "It's possible to directly influence the weak-willed. In your case, I merely used the Force to try to siphon off that anger."
Sanzo wasn't weak-willed and Qui-Gon hadn't actively tried to influence him; not in the traditional sense, anyway. He was curious as to what kind of powers the Earthian priests had; it was entirely possible they too used the Force, approaching it differently than a Jedi would. If that was the case, then there was possibly something he could learn here. One of his goals was to learn more about the Force in order to try to better re-connect to it. Perhaps an "alien" look at it was just what they needed.
