Best Answer

The real Illuminati ceased to exist in the 18th century. The Illuminati was organized to rid the Roman Catholic Church's power over the civil governments; the Illuminati were against the power of the Pope.

The real Illuminati was a short lived group (1776-1785) of enlightened intellectuals whose goal was the overthrow of the oppressive monarchy controlled by the church in Rome. They were very unsuccessful in their endeavor because that monarch, Charles Theodore (Karl Theodor), Prince-Elector and Duke of Bavaria, successfully destroyed the organization and imprisoned their leadership.

No, the pope is not a member of the 'Illuminati.' The Illuminati was organized to rid the Roman Catholic Church's power over the civil governments; the Illuminati were against the power of the Pope.

Catholic AnswerNo, the Illuminati, and similar groups have all been condemned by every single Pope for hundreds of years. There have been, and are, specific excommunications provided in the Code of Canon Lawfor any Catholic who would join such a group. When the Church issues a blanket excommunication for something, they are really not fooling around. Where anyone would get the idea that one of the men who supported the condemnation and excommunication - in fact ISSUED them - of the Illuminati, was a member of them should definitely check their sources they are reading. The philosophy and background of the Illuminati are completely opposed to the teachings of Our Blessed Lord and His Church.

Incidentally, as the Bavarian Illuminati died out in 1785, it is highly improbable that John Paul or anyone for the past two hundred years could be a member, nor any of their modern incarnations.

No. The Roman Catholic Church actually opposed the Illuminati when they existed and are believed to be an element of the demise of the organization in 1785. So, not likely they would be even if the organization still existed.

No, the new Pope, Francis, is the head of the Catholic Church. Elements of the Catholic Church hunted down and persecuted members of the Illuminati in 1785. The Illuminati no longer exists, but if they did, it and Pope Francis would likely have philosophical differences.

No, Pope John Paul II was a pretty practical guy. As such he would not have conscerned himself with 200+ year defunct organizations.

The Illuminati has not existed since 1785.
