THE CHURCH POLEMIC AGAINST FREEMASONRY AND THEOSOPHY is the same as the Fascists. Though a defense by the Church would be to contextualize and provide nuance to a complicated history that some within the Church have recognized and tried to amend. But at an institutional level, contextualization and nuance are not permitted or afforded to others as justly. The main two secret correspondents known in title as “adepts” associated with the early Theosophical Society did in fact believe in a grand conspiracy about the Jesuit Order, that circulated through several distinct channels. Across Europe, anti‑Jesuit conspiracies circulated heavily through pamphlets, newspapers, and polemical books, which were the dominant mass‑communication tools of the Enlightenment and post‑Enlightenment era.
Their letters exhibit a prevailing prejudice and attitude born out of conflicts between the Gelugpas and Kagyupas for supremacy and state rule in Tibet, because alongside their views about Jesuits are their views also about adepts among the Bons and the “Red Caps.” These men and Blavatsky adopt historical animosities of the time, and believed that sorcerers were among the Red Caps, working with Jesuit missionaries and the Vatican. Hence, one of the main correspondents by the pseudonym of K.H. stated in a letter, “The opposition represents enormous vested interests, and they have enthusiastic help from the Dugpas – in Bhootan and the Vatican!”
Helena Blavatsky stated that Catholics and Jesuits were kept out of the Theosophical Society ranks. This history involves a very real struggle, despite the use the word conspiracy. This refers to enemies within orders, and they are called “the great enemy of humanity.”
There was a time during the inner conflicts of the Theosophical Society, many Theosophists had exclaimed, that Jesuits and “dugpas” were responsible for everything going on. I always argue that the Theosophists destroyed themselves, despite all outside attempts to dismantle them, and tie them to a vast revolutionary conspiracy. People today appear far too vulnerable to the same arguments and conspiracies that were made in those times, and do not quite understand what is truly at stake here.
There are attempts even by Catholic Conservative intellectuals, or traditionalists in this country to realign American views about the Enlightenment era. Many of you should not be so ignorant to the financial and congregational power of Evangelicals in this country, and their obligations, convictions and alliance to political Zionism. This issue is a subversive effort, that necessitates a countermeasure. This countermeasure must embrace or positively include the history and philosophies I have endeavored to bring to notice as positively included in the narrative and legacy of American foundations, whereas you have been conditioned to hate them as “enemies of the Church,” Christendom, or some Pagan occult conspiracy.
In this specific case, we are focused on the IHS: Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and Holy See versus Theosophists and Freemasonry in the nineteenth-century, because right into the twentieth-century, the conflict is taken up a notch. The German Rosicrucian movement is out of commission. Weishaupt is exiled. Republican Revolutions breaking out all over, and the Theosophists come about in the nineteenth-century. However, Theosophy basically is unable to maintain its grasp on human imagination and its influence dwindles in the early twentieth-century, due to charges of fraud, internal schisms and conflicts, but essentially, the Jesuits win without having to make it known. The Society of Jesus and Catholicism during H.P. Blavatsky’s time had just formed an alliance. In that next century, the twentieth, the Jesuit Order and Vatican allies with another new enemy of Freemasonry, of the Rationalists, the revolutionaries and the declined Theosophists — Fascism, along with General Franco under Spain and Ante Pavelić of the Ustaše in Croatia. Ignorant people have tried to tie Theosophy, Fascism and Antisemitism, but they are not right. The alliance between Jesuits, Catholicism and Fascism — all adversaries of the Theosophists is something avoided in this equation.
At the onset, we must acknowledge that Christians, that Catholics were victims of the National Socialists as well as Theosophists. Everyone was victims, even certain Nordicists. The fact still remains, that some among the order allied themselves to the National Socialists. All kinds of people were attracted to National Socialism, but the context underlying the reason is important.
Now, conspiracy and paranoia are not only integral to America’s birth, but it is also integral to the history of the Theosophical Movement. If you simply look at the contents of Edith Starr Miller’s Index content in “Occult Theocrasy” on Theosophy and the Illuminati on this subject, she argued, that all Occultism and every group were involved in a grand conspiracy to bring about Luciferianism, or Satanism. It is ironic though, that she was a Fascist and strongly anti-Mormon Christian. According to her, the Adepts, Brahmans, Jesuits, Gnostics, Buddhists, Zionists, Theosophists, Hindus, Italian Carbonari, Freemasons, Irish nationalists, etc., were supposedly all in cahoots. The Russian Orthodox Church and Catholics instigated these exact accusations about Theosophists. It is also a highly widespread belief among the masses, because of this old, outdated false information. The Age of Post-Truth came long before Donald Trump. The popular conspiracy does not discriminate. Everything is said to be under the strings of one political clique, or a singular cult of Saturn-worshipers, devil-worshipers, or Reptilians. Ridiculous notions based off of misunderstandings.
The clandestine adepts that were associated with the early Theosophical Movement in the nineteenth-century in their Letters argue, that the world misunderstands them and the real nature and purpose of true Theosophy. They did not merely believe but claimed to know or often come across those who they considered to be their foes or adversaries, referred to as the “Brothers of the Shadow.” The teachings of these foes, e.g., concentrated on practices such as Tantric magic, organized and concentrated prayer to effect enemies, and psychic development — i.e., practices typical within the pop-occulture e.g., of American Positive Psychology, Spiritualism, Necromancy and New Ageism. It was claimed that this brotherhood controls a vast network. According to them, these dark adepts want to bring humanity under their reign of Universal Despotism, and long spiritual and mental passivity, of which the world has no idea of. These “brothers of the shadow” were said to have rank in the Jesuit Order, and among Bhutanese lamas of the Bon and Dukpa (Red cap) sect.
As the Jesuit order in this time had just been reformed and allied to the Roman Catholic Church, theosophist Helena Blavatsky expressed great dismay at this development. In France, conflicts between Gallican (national church autonomy) and Ultramontane (papal authority) factions amplified anti‑Jesuit narratives, and Blavatsky is reacting directly within this context of ecclesiastical conflict. This conflict was central to her article about the issue against the Jesuits. These disputes circulated through sermons, clerical writings, and church‑related political activism; and as well within early Theosophical literature.
Blavatsky believed that Western Masonry had been infiltrated by other secret societies, and the same forces wanted to infiltrate the Theosophical Society to disarm its effects and challenge to Christian missionary work. However, the way she speaks about this subject differs from the Illuminati super-conspiracy. Anti‑Jesuit conspiracies often merged with anti‑Masonic and anti‑philosophe conspiracy theories circulating after the French Revolution. The Barruel-Simonini tradition (early 19ᵗʰ century) blended Jesuits, Freemasons, and Jews into a single imagined network of hidden manipulators, which remains influential into the 21st century.
The stories of surveillance, infiltration, even imprisonment and death of Masons and Rosicrucians under the Church or by Jesuit assassins became the later work of the Fascists and National Socialists who in turn only wanted themselves to rule. The cases about police, Fascists, the German SS, the Bavarian Illuminati, Masonic lodges, Theosophical Society in Germany and Italy, and Rosicrucian lodges presents a very complex picture.
On the other hand, many people’s views on these subjects are so skewed by false information, exaggerations, fear, and religious conditioning. It is because of this, that I am against indulging in conspiracy theory, and history has already proven that conspiracy theory speculation is not a harmless activity. Even though it can be shown, that the issue with the Jesuits, the Vatican, the Fascists and National Socialists contain many real, historical, documented facts of information, the history has to be explained very carefully, and a great responsibility lies on the shoulders of those who engage in such history. This can be explored in H.’s Lehmann’s book, “Behind the Dictators: A Factual Analysis of the Relationship of Nazi-Fascism and Roman Catholicism” and Karlheinz Deschner’s “God and the Fascists: The Vatican Alliance with Mussolini, Franco, Hitler, and Pavelić.”
Many groups and individuals have been unjustly persecuted and misunderstood. Quite every cause’ or movement discussed have been mischaracterized as enemies of humanity secretly plotting against humanity at every step to take away from them their precious Christian faith to replace it with a tyrannical Satanic political order. The instigators are able to maintain their grip on power and influence. This demonstrates that conspiracies have been wielded well and remain the weapon of the totalitarian and the tyrant. You must understand that it is the marginalized who will be in their hands at the end of the pike, whenever the mass-people are directed to a scapegoat. Exercise caution and critical thinking when it comes to conspiracy and understands the roots of the instigation itself, and what purpose it served in those periods.
The Church (quite all the major denominations) have instigated many lies, while documentation of their desperation and wrong doings are public and on record. Then, they apologize and are forgiven, while the damage to others has been done. How can the people always be trusted, when the demos can be easily roused and turned on anyone. Even the literary character Jesus in the New Testament whom billions claim to worship, adore, and respect met his fate also before an ignorant rabble, and leaders with their gossip, slander and manipulated opinion. You wouldn’t believe that America: Jesuit Review published a title, How Jesuits and Jedi are More Alike than You Think (2017). You would find this claim outrageous if the entire record of this order was put before you.
They think they are the Jedi . . . and theosophists, the so-called heretics, are what then: the Sith inspired by Evil Spirits! . . . this is the absurdity and gaslighting that has been successful, since the masses do not care to correct the record.
Hitler pacing through the hall into the ballroom to meet with allied leaders and emissaries from the Vatican. This is what we are shown in this cult film, The Fall of Berlin, created in the traditions of Stalin’s mythmaking during the second world war about the key events of the Great Patriotic War (22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945) between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Cesare Orsenigo was the Apostolic Nuncio to Germany from 1930 to 1945. This is Soviet war-time propaganda, but this was no mere propaganda. The National Socialists and Fascists believed in the Jewish-Masonic conspiracy, which included Theosophy. What possible diplomacy, compromise and conciliation with them was needed?
DIALOGUE (MINUTES 33:51-36-35)
Spanish Diplomat: Greetings from Spain, my Fuhrer.
Japanese Diplomat: Japan is celebrating your victory, my Fuhrer.
Vatican Diplomat (Cesare Orsenigo): The Holy See sends their blessing to German heroes of Moscow. The Holy See has long ago connected their fate with your fate, my dear Fuhrer.
Hitler: Dear Orsenigo! I can’t wait to read an encyclical denouncing Bolshevism. It is with greater pleasure that I would see you on St. Peter’s Throne! You are a true Nazi, Orsenigo.
