Léo Taxil - The Amusing Bible (La Bible amusante)

Léo Taxil, born Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès (21 March 1854 – 31 March 1907), was a French writer and journalist who became known for his strong anti-Catholic and anti-clerical views. A native of Marseille, he was educated by the Marist Brothers and then at a Jesuit boarding school. At fourteen he broke with religion; a two-month spell in the Mettray penal colony, where his father had him sent, sealed his hatred of it.

In his anti-Catholic books “La Bible amusante” (The Amusing Bible) and “La Vie de Jésus” (The Life of Jesus), Taxil satirically pointed out what he considered to be the inconsistencies, errors and false beliefs presented in the Bible. The first version of “The Amusing Bible” (~400 pages) was illustrated by Frid’Rick and published in 1882 by his own “Librairie anticléricale”.

On 20 April 1884 Pope Leo XIII published the encyclical “Humanum Genus”, which set the kingdom of God against the kingdom of Satan, the latter said to be “led on or assisted” by Freemasonry, and called on the bishops “to tear away the mask from Freemasonry”. In 1885, a year after this encyclical, Taxil repented, confessed and professed conversion to Catholicism. He renounced his earlier works and was solemnly received back into the Church.

Taxil then wrote a series of pamphlets and books denouncing Freemasonry and charging its lodges with worshipping the devil, all filled with fictitious eyewitness accounts of Satanism. One, called “The Devil in the Nineteenth Century”, introduced Diana Vaughan, together with many implausible tales of her encounters with incarnate demons, one of whom played the piano in the shape of a crocodile. These books sold well among Catholics, although Diana Vaughan never appeared in public. In 1887 Taxil even had an audience with Pope Leo XIII, who subsequently encouraged his anti-Masonic campaign.

Doubts about Vaughan’s veracity and even her existence began to grow, and finally Taxil promised to produce her at a lecture he was to deliver on 19 April 1897. To the amazement of the audience, which included a number of priests, he announced that Diana Vaughan was one of a series of hoaxes, part of a long-sustained practical joke to ridicule the Roman Catholic Church’s credulity. He thanked the bishops and Catholic newspapers for facilitating his crowning hoax, namely his conversion. Diana Vaughan was revealed to be a typist working for an American typewriter company, who had laughingly allowed him to use her name.

The audience received these revelations with laughter, and some with indignation and hisses. Taxil was mobbed on leaving the hall, so that policemen had to escort him to a neighbouring café.

An extended version of “La Bible amusante” — the complete edition of 1903-1904, 814 pages with 400 illustrations by Frid’Rick — was published in Paris.

Léo Taxil died in Sceaux on 31 March 1907.
