Edmond Paris
Edmond Paris (25 January 1894 - 1970) is the name of an author of books critical of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, as well as the Catholic Church in general. Paris, along with the Jew, Avro ManhattanTemplate:J is one of the main authors cited by Evangelical Zionists such as Eric Jon Phelps to claim that Jesuits and the Vatican, not organised Jewry, are the most powerful and harmful group in the world.
It is claimed that Paris was a French scholar, but a full length biography of the man from primary sources is left wanting; it may even be a pseudonym. The references in his books, such as The Secret History of the Jesuits, are of French provinence and the general line of argumentation is similar to that of anti-clerical Grand Orient Freemasonry; Paris argues against "dogmatism" and "obscurantism", because it is "intolerant" (one of his books is about Denis Diderot's Encyclopédie). Despite his general anti-religious bent, Paris' works have been used by American Evangelicals such as Jack Chick and Phelps.
In his works, Paris also attacks the European national liberation movements of the 1930s. He claims a prominent Jesuit influence over National Socialism, as well as repeating Jewish propaganda that Joseph Goebbels advocated using a "Big Lie" to fool the general public (and claiming also that this idea is derived from the Jesuit morality). Paris bewails an "Anti-Semitic Crusade", attacking Philippe Pétain and Vichy France, meaning that by default he sides with Judeo-Masonry and the British Empire in that conflict. It claims that the Germans ran death camps and speaks of the "the crematory furnaces of Auschwitz", despite the fact that there was no "Holocaust".
