A bit of A, a bit of B .. 

A lot of rubbish & conspiracy has been written over the years, a lot of it
emanating from the church itself . . historical fact is sometimes hard to
find. 

The fact that Dan Brown read a few books and wrote a (not very good*) novel
claiming a lot of what he'd read is true seems to be beyond doubt though. 

Marc. 

*C'mon, it's like Janet & John do Forcaults Pendulum :o)
