Luciferian Masonry
We are looking for more examples of the TAXIL HOAX
 
We are preparing an enlarged edition of Is It True What They Say About Freemasonry? We hope to include more citations of the use and debunking of the "Léo Taxil Hoax." This hoax is the vicious slander in which Albert Pike allegedly said to "twenty-three Supreme Councils of the world," that "Yes, Lucifer is God...."

The first list below includes citations, spanning more than a century, that expose the Taxil Hoax. The second list includes authors who fell for the hoax hook, line, and sinker and who have perpetuated it through their sloppy research.

Can you help us add references to either list? Please send additions to either list at is-it-true@srmason-sj.org.
 
Thanks!
