TRAPPED IN A MASONIC WORLD

- 367 -
On the 20th April 1884, Pope Leo XIII published an encyclical, Humanum Genus - that said that the
human race was; ―Separated into two diverse and opposite parts, of which the one steadfastly contends for
truth and virtue, the other of those things which are contrary to virtue and to truth. The one is the kingdom
of God on earth, namely, the true Church of Jesus Christ... The other is the kingdom of Satan...‖ This
kingdom was said to be ―led on or assisted‖ by Freemasonry. Prior to Pope Leo XIII Humanum Genus, -
on the 9th November 1846 Pope Pius IX had published a Papal Encyclical - Qui Pluribus - On Faith And
Religion, it attacked the belief that reason should be put above faith, and singled out the free gift of anti-
Catholic Bibles. Its coupling of political liberalism and religious indifferentism is seen as a condemnation
of the Italian Carbonari [―Charcoal burners‖] were groups of secret revolutionary societies founded in early
19th-century Italy, - and in particular was critical to Freemasonry in general. Léo Taxil was the pen name
of Marie Joseph, Gabriel Antoine-Jogand-Pagès, and who had been accused earlier of libel regarding a
book he wrote called The Secret Loves of Pope Pius IX, and it‘s said that following this, is when Taxil
underwent a public, feigned [insincere] conversion to Roman Catholicism, [sounds a bit like Tony Blair],
and announced his intention of repairing the damage he had done to the ‗true faith‘.
But as I‘ve said before, Taxil was raised and taught by the Jesuits, so would have already been baptised
long time ago as a Roman Catholic, so wouldn‘t have had to convert to the religion, whether feigning it or
not. If anything, he would have had to denounce his writings and admitted to his errors and mistakes.
The first book produced by Taxil after his so called ―conversion‖, was a four-volume history of
Freemasonry, which contained fictitious eyewitness verifications of their participation in Satanism. But
here‘s the crux of the matter, Taxil‘s writings weren‘t that so of the mark anyway, as an abundance of
evidence that has since come to light and long after Taxil‘s writing of 114 years ago, and that many a
Freemason as too admitted and proved that indeed high level Freemasons [around 2% of the whole
fraternity], do indeed participate in some form of Satanism and worship the likes of Lucifer, alias
Abaddon, - the cat‘s out of the bags lads, and it‘s time to hold your hands up, as in the ―Grand Hailing
sign of distress‖.
Apart from Taxil‘s writings, it‘s was also around this period of time, both the Catholic Church and
Freemasonry in general was coming under public scrutiny and attack by various quarters of the clergy and
other prominent members of society who were obviously not, or were no longer Freemasons. The
fraternity‘s beliefs and rituals were being exposed by either ex-Mason‘s or others who had access and
knowledge to the secret societies oaths and degrees etc., and were writing books and exposing certain
details about the craft in general.
It‘s also alleged after the publication of this papal document, Taxil underwent a public, ―contrived
conversion to Catholicism‖, [why he would have had to falsify his conversion to Catholicism, considering
he was brought up by the Catholic Jesuits so therefore must had already been one himself, is a little odd to
understand], and announced his intention of repairing the damage he had done to the true faith. The first
book of the four-volume history of Freemasonry, contained alleged fictitious eyewitness verifications of
their participation in Satanism. With a collaborator who published as Dr. Karl Hacks, Taxil wrote another
book called the Devil in the Nineteenth Century [2] , which introduced a new character-Diana Vaughan, a
supposed descendant of the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan.
The book contained far-fetched tales about her encounters with incarnate demons, one of whom was
supposed to have written prophecies on her back with its tail, [sounds more like Taxil had been on some
magic mushrooms], and another who played the piano in the shape of a crocodile. Diana was supposedly
involved in Satanic Freemasonry, but was redeemed when one day she professed admiration for St. Joan of
Arc, at whose name the demons were put to flight. As Diana Vaughan, Taxil published a book called
Eucharistic Novena, a collection of prayers which were praised by the Pope. [3]
On April 19th 1897, Taxil called a press conference at which he claimed he would introduce Diana
Vaughan to the press. He instead announced that many of his revelations about the Freemasons were
fictitious, and thanked the clergy for their assistance in giving publicity to his wild claims, but it still
doesn‘t add to me, as why would he go to all the time and effort it must have taken to write such a exposé,
then to not long after writing it, come out with such a rebuke of his own book?
As I‘ve already stated, it is possible Taxil felt his life was at threat, and was pressurised by the
Freemasons. They may have even offered him money as compensation, as they had proclaimed they had
done so in the Morgan affair. Defenders of Freemasonry say of these apparent hoaxes and exposés have
often become the basis for criticism of the fraternity, repeatedly religious or political in nature [usually by
totalitarian dictatorial regimes, but also arising in the historical Anti-Masonic Party in the United States],
or are based on suspicion of corrupt conspiracies of some form, - and the state the worlds in, then these so
called critics wouldn‘t be far wrong. [2][3]
