Chavos,
First off, there is a lot of good research in that book. The Plotline is hooey, for sure, but the "facts" he pulls out all have their lineages. Read <i>Holy Blood, Holy Grail</i> and check out his bibliography. If you find his credibility lacking, then please let me know why. I expect you would have better to say than "none of these conspiracy theories are worth the time it takes to disprove them" and am therefore very interested in what you have to say. Coupled with Jesus' status as a Rabbi, mandating marriage, and the extra canonical gospels which mention more of a connection b/w Jesus and Mary Magdelene and the idea makes one go Hmmm.
I sat through a Catholic mass on Friday (funeral), and the idea of the grail as code for the sacred feminine put a whole new spin on the eucharistic liturgy for me. I must say I was quite amused at the potential of "take this, all of you, and drink of it..." but, then again, I have a very dirty mind.
