Yes there was, but their portrayal in the novel "The Da Vinci Code" is not entrirely accurate. This is part of the reason why the novel is so controversial, as people are taking the novel as being 100% accurate. It's more along the lines of historical fiction. But to answer your question, YES, there really was a Priory of Scion.

Answer 2
Perhaps there was, but it is now beleived that the alleged Priory of Sion was a hoax, perpetrated by one Pierre Plantard of France, who claimed to be its current leader in the 1960's. Check out the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Henry Lincoln, Micheal Baigent. It explains how they uncovered the hoax...

Answer 3
Priory if Scion actually. Yes, they did/do exist, they're called P-2 now.

Does anybody believe in the Priory of Sion?
Does anybody believe in the Priory of Sion? I have a science mind - I'm not so good with faith, and since I read The Da Vinci Code, and saw the movie, I totally believe. I've looked them up on the net and tried to research them, I could totally imagine it was true. Am I nuts? Does anyone else believe in the Priory? Ok sorry, I believe in the idea of it, not the actual story. Ok, thanks Liberal. I'm glad I asked this question so I could be insulted. And thank you to the rest of you, you've provided some insight into it for me and I apprectiate that :)

Whilst the novel is fiction the priory and all the other societies and places are real!! Indeed the authors of a factual book about them tried to sue the author for plagiarism for using some of their facts and figures but lost the court case!! That is the real reason that christians are so against the book - it has more facts and real things in it than the bible does!!

Answer 1
"Da Vinci Code" is a novel. It's fiction. If you think any part of it is real, then you DON'T have a science mind. In order to be good at science, you need to be able to instinctively know the difference between true and false and how to test it. ******************** No difference. Find a basis for believing in the idea. Until you do, you need to be skeptical. That's a skill you have to develop or you'll fall for anything. As a matter of fact, you're not even a free person if you're so easily duped by a simple, imaginary story that uses enticements in place of evidence.
2009-05-21 22:45:10
Answer 2
There's been actual research done about this and it was shown that the Priory of Sion is nothing at all like it is described in The Da Vinci Code book or movie. Indeed, there is very little evidence that proves it ever existed. I like the idea of it too - so wonderfully spooky.

Answer 3
The Priory of Sion was established by the second King of Jerusalem and simply existed, studying scripture, until the Papacy gave it's last building and accumulated paper and debts to the Society of Jesus.In 1634. Frankly it was not active in the world and was mediocre in scholarship. It was an organization set up for the personal glory and social standing of it's members.

Answer 4
Brown's first "fact" alleged that a secret society, the Priory of Sion, kept alive the story that Jesus and Mary Magdalene married. But in fact, this tale was exposed as a hoax that was made up in the 1950s by an anti-Semitic Frenchman (who was sent to prison for fraud). The second "fact" alleged that a "religious sect" called Opus Dei was an evil organization, when in fact it is a lay group that calls Catholics to holiness in their daily lives. The third "fact" was the most malicious: it claimed that the book was based on historical documents that show how the divinity of Jesus was forged in the fourth century. Everyone is free to believe what they want about Catholicism (or any other religion), and novelists are free to offer conjecture about the past. But no one has the right to defame another human being, or an institution, and then lie about his sources. As to the bigoted nature of the book/film, consider that it was John Calley, the movie's co-producer, who admitted that the film was "conservatively anti-Catholic." It would be unimaginable to conceive of a single producer in all of Hollywood who would brag about his association with a bigoted film, unless, of course, it was a Catholic-bashing flick.

It was a fabrication by a man called Plantard, and then a sect of that name was created. Wikipedia has an article on it.

Is Ramakrishna Mission a Priory of Sion like organization to protect Vivekananda’s lineage?
Is Ramakrishna Mission a Priory of Sion like organization to protect Vivekananda’s lineage?
It is widely suspected that Swami Vivekananda left a son with Nivedita. Otherwise a credible Government and media would not have named a bridge ‘Second Vivekananda’. Circumstantially, there are reasons to believe the rumour. 1.Vivekananda and Nivedita both were of nubile age at that time, with excellent health. Nivedita had a normal sexuality with history of two failed relationships before coming to India. 2.Vivekananda was very much possessive about her; and expressed anguish often not with finesse, over her hobnobbing with Okakura the womanizer or Brahmo Samaj the debauches. In a sadistic exercise, Vivekananda made Nivedita speak in favour of animal sacrifice. 3.Vivekananda was an ace swimmer and boatman. He tactically located Math at Belur, just opposite Bagbazar across the river where Nivedita lived. Midnight rendezvous was not an improbability altogether. 4.Contraceptives were not freely available then. 5.Nivedita’s gowns were ideal to hide pregnancy.

It depends on your regional dialect, actually. How do you pronounce the word "Prior" where you live? As in, "I grabbed my purse prior to leaving." Then, add an "eee" sound to the end. And that's how you pronounce it where you live.
