| There are a number of facts inter mingled with the fictional narrative centring around the characters of Robert Langdon and Sophie Neaveu: 1. There were groups called the Knights Templar and there is a Christian organisation called Opus Dei the practices of these groups are undisputed and pointed out in the book. 2. The artist Leonardo da Vinci was the leader of the Knights Templar 3. Mary Magdalene was a princess from the House of Solomon 4. The prophet Jesus was a product of the Virgin Mary's rape by a Roman Soldier and was half blood prince from the house of King David (she wasn't visited by an angel yada yada yada unless the angel had intercourse with her) 5. Mary Magdalene was demonised to preserve the purity of Jesus 6. Women were demonised to preserve this also (and I quote ) 'The Catholic inquisition published the book ' Malleus Maleficarum' which indoctrinated the world to the dangers of freethinking women and instructed the clergy to locate torture and destroy them. During 300 years of witch hunts the church burned at the stake 5 million women, the propaganda for blood shed had worked...Holy men feared their natural sexual urges as the work of the devil collaborating with his favourite accomplice...woman.' (Page 173-4 The Da Vinci Code.) 7. The priory Of Sion existed to preserve the Holy grail 8. The word �Holy Grail� translated from the words Sangrall or San Graal which means Royal blood literally not spiritually. In closing: keep up the campaigning, Christians. It'll make this film one of the highest grossing films ever. I can�t wait to see it. Bit of advice for non-Christians - go argue with a Christian. It's fun when they can't get you to do what they want and you can almost see their heads ready to explode!! |
