Synopsis

This book details investigations that accuse the Enlightenment figures Voltaire and d'Alembert of conspiring along with other Illuminati to destroy Christianity and societal norms in order to establish universal infidelity. The author endeavors to prove that these Freemason sympathizers were not merely scoffing at the abuses of the Catholic Church, but saw all religion and morality as obstacles to their goal of a society without nations or divine law. Despite attempts to conceal their intentions with piety and deflection, the author argues that their writings and private communications expose their true aims, which ultimately culminated in the chaos of the French Revolution. This book will be of great interest to anyone with a passion for history, religion, or the insidious power of corrupted ideas.
