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.
