Communism and Nazism were seemingly opposing fasions. Yet both can be traced back to Rome.
How? Was Karl Marx just a pawn of the Caholic Church? Nazism succeded in part due to the compliance of the Catholics in southern Germany, as well as the Lutherans, but "traced back to Rome"? Both Nazism and Communism are so much more complicated than "the Catholics did it!"
The bible points out this beast power is behind all the bloodshed of the world, Rev 17:6, 18:24. All the wars of the world can be traced back to Rome.
The problem is that we have different presuppositions on Revelation. I can see you have a classic historicist view. At the moment I am a strange mix of idealist, preterist and historicist all-in-one!
Adam Weishaupt was a Jesuit professor of Canon law. He only became an 'ex'-Jesuit after the jesuits were thrown into the prisons by the monarches of Europe. The Illuminatis were the jesuits going under ground.
And the jewish financiers of the revolutions of Europe were controlled by the jesuits. For example, the House of Rothschild is called 'the Treasurer of Vatican' by the Encyclopedia Judaica.
You need to educate yourself on this topic, dig deeper.
Global banking and foreign intervention is not only a Catholic practice. Power is a corrupting force no matter who you are. If you have such a literal approach to passages like in Revelation, you will want to line every symbol up to one specific group (eg. Catholocism). I see those parts of Revelation more as a warning against the corruption of power in overbearing totalitarian states than having one specific application.
One of the problems with taking these sort of views of history is that they are views constructed on very shaky evidence, or even when there is no evidence. All these websites put up by conspiracy theorists, both secular and Christian, have no referencing to source material and sloppy arguments, like simply stating that their view is the fact and conventional knowledge is of course flawed.
All you really have is a number of organisations and individuals throughout history playing monopoly with the world, and suddenly they all have to be controlled by a super-villian, the Catholic Church.
OK, The best evidence I have seen points to Adam Weishaupt becoming anti-Jesuit, and anti-religion, just like so many of the Enlightenment philosophers. (And that's what the Illuminati are all about, the Enlightenment and power)
