It's a nutty comment on many levels. Freemasonry always was a non-RCC affair that the RCC strongly resisted and has banned their members from belonging to it since 1738 treating any RCC member that does as someone in "grave sin." They can't even receive communion.
The illuminati itself is a far cry from what the nut job conspiracy theorists assert. In reality, it was a Bavarian Enlightenment-era association founded on May 1, 1776. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, prejudice, religious influence over public life and abuses of state power, and to support women's education and gender equality.
It was modeled on the freemasons; however, and many Illuminati chapters drew membership from existing Masonic lodges. The government shut it down in 1785. The rest is fiction.

There's no historical information to base that on.
