The Illuminati have not existed since 1789. Skull and Bones is a college frat at Yale University.

Also, near the end of the 19th century, an Illuminati lodge was created in Alen�on, France, by the Duc d'Alen�on himself.
Seriously, why do such a large scale secret society would go public if their main power is to be able to "rule the world with an invisible hand" (as John Locke was saying)???

Infinite, I strongly suggest that you study more seriously the opposing views of freemasonry before entering in the group.

and what would those opposing views be?? illuminati, devil worshipping, child abuse..pffft please. Most of the opposing views are made by people who haven't actually met a freemason in their life.

The Vatican is controlled by the Opus Dei (anybody denying this is a blind fool). I don't know if it has ties with the "Illuminati", or if it simply is like the "modern Illuminati". But I know the current Pope used to regularly visit the tomb of the Opus Dei founder, Jose Maria something...
