The official ban in 1785
That’s right, the Illuminati organization has existed for around nine years and was then banned by Karl Theodor. The Bavarian Government along with the Catholic Church worried about the impact a secret society such as this would have on people (and the power it will eventually have over them) so they just banned all secret societies altogether. Which, in turn, just made all such societies go deeper underground. As a result, we don’t even know for sure whether the Illuminati order still exists or not.
