Has anyone heard of “The Protocols of the Elders”?

Has anyone heard of the Illuminati?

Can anyone explain what this is about? Does it have anything to do with the anti-christ? From what I have been reading on the internet it has something to do with the free masons, Jews and the occult… at least that is what it sounds like to me. But I never heard of it until a few days ago.

Is it a new religion? It sounds like a Zionist relgion.
 
The Protocals of the Elders of Zion is a late 18th century forgery that purports to explain the “Jewish conspiracy” to control the world. It is, along with Mein Kampf, the ultimate in anti-semitic propoganda and should not be taken seriously. Nor should anybody who believes it be taken seriously as well.

aisb23 has answered you pretty fully, but I would caution you that some efforts have been made to debunk the idea that the Protocols are a forgery. They show up as apologia for this book on the Internet. There is an entire subculture of conspiracy theories floating about, some anti-Semitic, some anti-government, some anti-this or anti-that. Rarely do the proponents really take a lot of care with their evidence, though they often marshall an enormous number of citations which make them look much more reputable than they deserve. Do try and view these things with as much balnce and reserve as possible, and if they are truly disturbing to your Christian faith, read something else instead.

My guess is that there are good resources available here at CA and elsewhere to discuss these matters. Don’t expect however that the moderators will allow this subject to go on at any great length here, simply due to the risk of scandal and hurt feelings, not to mention the tendency of such discussions to grow very heated very quickly.
 
there is no place on this forum for any serious consideration of the hoax perpetrated as the Protocols of the Elders of Sion.
 
Don’t knock ALL conspiracy theories, however.
People with commons goals DO get together and plan things, people always have.
The Freemasons, for example, have written that they intend to wipe Catholic Christianity off the face of the Earth.
Perhaps you scoff at that assertion, but men far, far, more learned than you or me have exposed the Freemasons.
Our blessed Pope Leo the XIII even wrote an entire encyclical on the Masonic menace, Humanum Genus, On Freemasonry.
It is available at tanbooks.com
It is also on line somewhere, but I don’t remember the website.
Our Pope Leo XIII was no fool and no dupe. He knew what he was talking about.
God bless,

The Masons? You mean that front group for those vile Jesuits?

:whistle:

Seriously: there are academic disciplines which do treat conspiracy theories with some measure of respect. There is the ‘conspiritorial view of history’. In economics, Marxism actually rates as one form of such a conspiracy theory. In Sociology, my own discipline, there is the Conflict school of thought. Each of these suggest similar things–that not all of the nexuses of power even within political democracies are transparent and readily accessed and influenced by the majority of those affected by those centers of power. That not all are even officially labelled as such. Folks who have tried to gain access to an important person know this: often, it is recommended that if you need to make an appointment with such a person, befriend his/her secretary. THEY can get you in to see the VIP, and may well give you some pointers along the way on how to best win his/her ear. They may even put in a ‘good word’ for you.

Academics however, do not play games with ‘Pin the Tail on the Grand Cabal’. They don’t suggest that there is a smoke-filled room somewhere in the world where Diabolical Mad Leaders plot out every detail of their Grand Plan for World Conquest. The serious academics don’t try to develop who’s-who lists of Tri-lateralist, Masonic, Jewish, Jesuits as likely candidates for the Great Bogeymen of the Coming New World Order.

If you read enough of this material, and if you take even a bit of time to read some of the material which refutes it, you realise what a flimsy house of cards these sorts of conspiracy theories really are.
 
the book is the product of French ant-isemites and was adopted by the despot Tsar Nicholas II .Who used it to justify his pogroms in Russia.
