The Original Writings Of The Order And Sect Of The Illuminati Pdf 22

In subsequent use, "Illuminati" has been used when referring to various org=
anisations which are alleged to be a continuation of the original Bavarian =
Illuminati (though these links have not been substantiated). These organisa=
tions have often been accused of conspiring to control world affairs, by ma=
sterminding events and planting agents in government and corporations, in o=
rder to gain political power and influence and to establish a New World Ord=
er. Central to some of the more widely known and elaborate conspiracy theor=
ies, the Illuminati are depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling the =
strings and levers of power. This view of the Illuminati has found its way =
into popular culture, appearing in dozens of novels, films, television show=
s, comics, video games and music videos.

Finding Freemasonry expensive, and not open to his ideas, he founded his ow=
n society which was to have a system of ranks or grades based on those in F=
reemasonry, but with his own agenda.[5] His original name for the new order=
 was Bund der Perfektibilisten, or Covenant of Perfectibility (Perfectibili=
sts); he later changed it because it sounded too strange.[6] On 1 May 1776,=
 Weishaupt and four students formed the Perfectibilists, taking the Owl of =
Minerva as their symbol.[7][8] The members were to use aliases within the s=
ociety. Weishaupt became Spartacus. Law students Massenhausen, Bauhof, Merz=
 and Sutor became respectively Ajax, Agathon, Tiberius and Erasmus Roteroda=
mus. Weishaupt later expelled Sutor for indolence.[9][10] In April 1778, th=
e order became the Illuminatenorden, or Order of Illuminati, after Weishaup=
t had seriously contemplated the name Bee order.[11]

The lack of a coherent alternative to the two strains of mysticism allowed =
the Illuminati to present themselves as a credible option. Ditfurth, prompt=
ed and assisted by Knigge, who now had full authority to act for the order,=
 became their spokesman. Knigge's original plan to propose an alliance betw=
een the two orders was rejected by Weishaupt, who saw no point in an allian=
ce with a dying order. His new plan was to recruit the masons opposed to th=
e "Templar" higher degree of the Strict Observance.[18]

The Prussian Rosicrucians, under Johann Christoph von W=C3=B6llner, began a=
 sustained attack on the Illuminati.[citation needed] W=C3=B6llner had a sp=
ecially engineered room in which he convinced potential patrons of the effe=
ctiveness of Rosicrucian "magic", and his order had acquired effective cont=
rol of the "Three Globes" and its attached lodges. Through this mouthpiece,=
 the Illuminati were accused of atheism and revolutionary tendencies.[citat=
ion needed] In April 1783, Frederick the Great informed Charles of Hesse th=
at the Berlin lodges had documents belonging to the Minervals or Illuminati=
 which contained appalling material and asked if he had heard of them. All =
Berlin masons were now warned against the order, which was now accused of S=
ocinianism, and of using the liberal writings of Voltaire and others, along=
side the tolerance of Freemasonry, to undermine all religion. In November 1=
783, the Three Globes described the Illuminati as a masonic sect which soug=
ht to undermine Christianity and turn Freemasonry into a political system. =
Their final anathema, in November 1784, refused to recognise any Illuminati=
 as Freemasons.[19]



Several recent and present-day fraternal organisations claim to be descende=
d from the original Bavarian Illuminati and openly use the name "Illuminati=
". Some of these groups use a variation on the name "The Illuminati Order" =
in the name of their own organisations,[30] while others, such as the Ordo =
Templi Orientis, have "Illuminati" as a grade within their organisation's h=
ierarchy. However, there is no evidence that these present-day groups have =
any real connection to the historic order. They have not amassed significan=
t political power or influence and most, rather than trying to remain secre=
t, promote unsubstantiated links to the Bavarian Illuminati as a means of a=
ttracting membership.[21]

 27. It is in the free action of God the Creator that we find the very mean=
ing of creation, even if it has been distorted by the experience of sin. In=
 fact, the narrative of the first sin (cf. Gen 3:1-24) describes the perman=
ent temptation and the disordered situation in which humanity comes to find=
 itself after the fall of its progenitors. Disobedience to God means hiding=
 from his loving countenance and seeking to control one's life and action i=
n the world. Breaking the relation of communion with God causes a rupture i=
n the internal unity of the human person, in the relations of communion bet=
ween man and woman and of the harmonious relations between mankind and othe=
r creatures[29]. It is in this original estrangement that are to be sought =
the deepest roots of all the evils that afflict social relations between pe=
ople, of all the situations in economic and political life that attack the =
dignity of the person, that assail justice and solidarity.

As the Gospel reverberates by means of the Church in the today of men and w=
omen[81], this social doctrine is a word that brings freedom. This means th=
at it has the effectiveness of truth and grace that comes from the Spirit o=
f God, who penetrates hearts, predisposing them to thoughts and designs of =
love, justice, freedom and peace. Evangelizing the social sector, then, mea=
ns infusing into the human heart the power of meaning and freedom found in =
the Gospel, in order to promote a society befitting mankind because it befi=
ts Christ: it means building a city of man that is more human because it is=
 in greater conformity with the Kingdom of God.

 527. Above all, the pastoral activity of the Church in the social sector m=
ust bear witness to the truth of the human person. Christian anthropology p=
ermits a discernment of social problems that will never find an adequate so=
lution if the transcendent character of the human person, fully revealed in=
 faith, is not safeguarded[1118]. The social action of Christians must be i=
nspired by the fundamental principle of the centrality of the human person[=
1119]. The need to promote the integral identity of the human person prompt=
s Christians to propose those eminent values that govern every well-ordered=
 and productive human society: truth, justice, love and freedom[1120]. Past=
oral activity in the social field must seek to ensure that the renewal of p=
ublic life is linked to an effective respect for these values. In this way,=
 the Church's multifaceted evangelical witness seeks to promote the awarene=
ss of the good of each person and of all people as an unlimited resource fo=
r the development of every aspect of life in society.

Another rather curious matter dealing with the meanings of names is the fac=
t that Jesus was called a Nazarene, and that as a boy He lived in a city ca=
lled Nazareth. Both "Nazarene" and "Nazareth" mean "separated." It is inter=
esting to find that a city called Nazareth is not mentioned anywhere in eit=
her the Old Testament or in any Judaic literature. There are historians who=
 claim that a town by that name did not exist in Galilee at that time and t=
hat the name was indicative of Jesus being a member of a secret sect or ord=
er that existed in Northern Palestine for centuries. Quite interestingly, a=
lso, in the 24th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles very important order o=
r sect called the Essenes, with which Freemasons should be somewhat familia=
r. They were the possessors of the Dead Sea Scrolls that were discovered in=
 the late 1940s in caves near the Qumran community along the northwest corn=
er of that body of water.

A jealous feeling and contention for leadership, which sprang up between We=
ishaupt and Knigge, and a difference of opinion of the two greatest heads o=
f the society on many points of organization and discipline, hastened the d=
ecline of the order, especially after Knigge had left it (July 1, 1784). As=
 soon as the State and Church disturbing tendency, which for a time had rem=
ained hidden, became known, the order was vehemently denounced. June 22, 17=
84, the elector of Bavaria issued an edict for its suppression. But the soc=
iety continued to exist in secret. When, however, the authorities had succe=
eded in obtaining further evidences of the dangerous tendency of the order =
by securing some of the papers of the association (which they published), t=
hey punished the members by fine, imprisonment, and exile. Many quit the co=
untry, among them Weishaupt (Feb. 16, 1785), on whose head a price had been=
 set. He fled to Gotha (some say Halle), and resided there until his death,=
 Nov. 18,1830. Edicts were again published by the elector of Bavaria, March=
 2 and August 16, 1785, which, by the severe punishment which it threatened=
 to members, caused the rapid decline of the order, and they disappeared al=
together towards the close of the last century (eighteenth). "Great importa=
nce was at one time attached to the order of the Illuminati, whose secret i=
nfluence was regarded as. a principal cause of many of the political events=
 of the time of the French Revolution, and the works of Abbe Barruel and of=
 Professor Kobison of Edinburgh upon this subject were eagerly read, but th=
e highly exaggerated character of their views is now generally acknowledged=
