The central plot of this mystery novel is whether these secrets will either be lost forever or revealed for all to know. Therefore a secret society, the Priory of Sion, is the keeper of this truth and the true religion, both of which, of course, have been covered up by the Vatican for all these years. What does the novel say? The book claims that Mary Magdalene was actually the Holy Grail, that it is she, rather than Saint John, who is pictured next to Christ in Leonardo DaVinci's painting "The Last Supper" and she, not Peter, was to be leader of his new church. How many of you here have read the The DaVinci Code? Whether or not you've read it, you must have heard of it.
Yet it contradicts holy Scripture and the doctrines of Christianity by re-explaining Jesus by playing on ever-popular biases against the Catholic Church. This is now a best-selling novel which, because it is engagingly written, is being treated as plausible. There is a certain gullibility for conspiracy theories, and currently exploiting that is "The DaVinci Code" by Dan Brown. Althout unrelated to the Da Vinci Code, it shows how easy it is to manipulate the facts and write a book just like it. Go to my pages on Da Vinci Code Resources and Who is Mary Magdalene?
