Summary

In the late 19th century a Frenchman pulled off one of the greatest hoaxes of all time and inspired countless conspiracy theories about Freemasonry that still circulate today. The man, who went by the pseudonym Leo Taxil, started his career by publishing several texts smearing the Pope and the Catholic Church. But then he switched sides. He claimed he converted to Catholicism and to prove his devotion he started publishing anti-Masonic texts.These new works included wild stories about a secret satanic sect with freemasonry called Palladism. Despite the fact that these stories are far beyond the limits of believability, they were taken seriously by the Catholic Church. Taxil finally admitted that his multiple books about satanism in Freemasonry were all part of an elaborate, 12-year-long-hoax. In the second part of the two-part series, we discuss Leo Taxil’s multiple books which supposedly exposed Satanism in Freemasonry, why he called Charleston, South Carolina the “Luciferian Rome,” and the dramatic public confession that sent shockwaves among Catholics and Freemason alike.

0:49.0	So in the last premium episode, we covered the beginning of the story of the man known as Leo Taxel.
0:56.0	He was a French man who in the late 19th century published a lot of scandalous pamphlets and books attacking the Catholic Church, which got him in some legal trouble.
1:04.0	He was also an effective hokster tricking people into believing that there was a rash of shark attacks
1:09.0	in Marseille and that there was a lost Roman city at the bottom of Lake Geneva.
1:13.0	But shortly after the market for his anti-Catholic riding started to dry up a bit
1:17.8	and the Pope asks people to expose free masonry, he claimed to have a change of heart.
