This book particularly revealed how the Freemasons celebrated Black Mass. This book was a ploy by a French journalist called Leo Taxil. He stirred up a lot of dust by bringing in a Miss Vaughan as a witness. The result of all this was that the Church found the Freemasons and their nocturnal intrigues so dangerous that they felt it necessary to found a world society against Freemasonry. A kind of council was held in Trent; although it was not a real council, it was dubbed ‘The Second Council of Trent. It was attended by many bishops and hundreds of priests; a cardinal presided. [The Congress became a major coup for Taxil.] But afterwards rebuttals were published, after which Mr Taxil revealed that the entire contents of his books, including the people mentioned in them, were his own invention.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Er hat besonders viel Staub aufgewirbelt dadurch, daß er dann noch eine Miss Vaughan als Zeugin ins Feld führte. Die Folge davon war, daß die Kirche die Freimaurer mit ihren nächtlichen Umtrieben für so gefährlich hielt, daß sie es für nötig fand, einen Weltbund gegen die Freimaurer ins Leben zu rufen. In Trient wurde eine Art Konzil abgehalten. Es war kein wirkliches Konzil, es wurde aber das zweite Trienter Konzil genannt. Es war von zahlreichen Bischöfen und Hunderten von Priestern beschickt; ein Kardinal präsidierte. [Der Kongreß wurde ein großer Erfolg für Taxil.] Dann wurden aber doch Gegenschriften verfaßt und daraufhin erklärte Herr Taxil, daß der ganze Inhalt seiner Bücher sowie die darin angeführten Personen eine Erfindung von ihm seien.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":175,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93/1906-01-02/p009"}],"english":["GA 93/1906-01-02/p009"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":175,"en_words":170,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.23,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":13461,"original_word_count":10911,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"John M.
