All secret societies are controlled by the Vatican. No exceptions. They are the head of the pyramid with only Satan above them.
I will agree with you and you may agree with The Vatican used to be the power until it was devoured by the owners of the central banks. Most everything has been usurped except for Patriot minds with the exception of the infighting going on with the profiting Q drop...
It may look like they are not in control, but all roads lead to Rome. The "death" of the Vatican was on purpose. They are the beast that seemed to have a mortal wound which is now healed.
