1798-1799 Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism (book)
Barruel, a Jesuit exiled from France,[1] using some ideas plagiarized from John Robison, peddled a conspiracy theory that Jews, Freemasons and Illuminati want to demolish all monarchies plus the Vatican, in order to establish a World Republic.[2] But Barruel did not accuse all Freemasons, and considered himself to be a Freemason.[3] Barruel accused the Knight Templars that they secretly survived and they have infiltrated Freemasonry in order to destroy Christianity.[1]
