https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GnFwapMZqUI would strongly urge anyone to watch this presentation by Walter Veith.
He will demonstrate all the missing links you always felt are there, but never really where able to grasp. He will go into detail about freemasonic symbolism in the catholic church, history of the jesuits, the illuminati, freemasonry, gnosticism, mythologies and much more.
As a comment, not all he says is exactly well founded for example the list of organizations alledgedly controlled by the Jesuits, a list of alledged members of Knights of Malta, And the notion that a Jesuit wrote mein kampf, the later is probably not true, though it IS true and well documented that the jesuits where a strong inspiration for both Himmler and Hitler. And the jesuits may have had a substantial influence on Nazi Germany.
Furthermore i assume you already know this but just in case,
The Scottish Knights Templar - Scottish Rite Freemasonry connection has been well established.
Then it should be noted that Jesuits where around long before this Scottish Rite Freemasonry.
Other groups of Knights Templars allegedly fled to mountains of switserland, where they would become key figures in the establishment of the country. For this there is less evidence but makes total sense historically.
Switserland would later become the heart of international high finance. And a long standing military companion of the Vatican.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Name_of_JesusSomehow the claim is made that Jesuit logo `IHS` is `the holy name of Jesus`, However they fail to explain how the letters have any resemblance to Jesus.
