— Masons — Old documents show us that the Jesuit Order grew into an extremely powerful group of men. Their influence went far beyond the religious world, they infiltrated the old Masonic Lodges. The Masons were skilled trades men in the construction trade, they worked with their hands, they worked hard physical labor. The infiltrated Jesuits were allowed to join because of their contributions in the area of architecture, science, and arts, they were called the Free and accepted Masons, hence the name “Freemasons”. The Freemasons were wealthy men with a special knowledge of architecture. It is known that they were interested in the “Temple of Solomon”, just like the Knights Templar. Furthermore, they were focused on the preservation of esoteric knowledge, for instance about the Kabbalah.
