I knew several 33 degree Scottish Rite masons and they never mentioned the illuminati but they wouldn't if it was a part of their initiation. With that said, I can see why I never heard of it before. There is one thing I need to say about Catholicism and masonry. When I went thru the degrees there were a few times when different churches were brought up by several brothers. The lodge does not discriminate on religious preferences, however, many said a mason can become a Catholic but a Catholic cannot become a mason. I'm not exactly sure why that is the case other than they have their own secret society in the Knights of Columbus organization.
I never heard of any Jesuits having anything to do with any of the masonry I was involved in.
