A priory is a monastery whose superior is a Prior. Certain sects or groups of christians like the Dominicans, Augustinian Hermits, Carthusians, Carmelites, Servites, and Brothers of Mercy call their monasteries priories. You can find lots of detail in wikipedia (and you don't even have to get up from your computer).

Answer 3
The Prieuré de Sion, usually rendered in English translation as Priory of Sion (occasionally as 'Priory of Zion'), is an alleged thousand-year-old cabal featured in various conspiracy theories, as well as being listed as a factual ancient mystery religion in the bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It has been characterized as anything from the most influential secret society in Western history to a modern Rosicrucian-esque ludibrium, but, ultimately, has been shown to be a hoax created in 1956 by Pierre Plantard, a pretender to the French throne. The evidence presented in support of its historical existence has not been considered authentic or persuasive by established historians, academics, and universities, and the evidence was later discovered to have been forged and then planted in various locations around France by Plantard and his associates. Nevertheless, many conspiracy theorists insist on the truth of the Priory's role as a powerful secret society.

Until you can personally go to the Bibliotheca in Paris and read the french documents for yourself, you cannot make that determination for yourself. You can only rely on other peoples statements - and they are all biased. Some say it was a hoax, others say they are real.

From Dan Brown: The Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, the Gnostic Gospels, Hieros Gamos, etc.). These real elements are interpreted and debated by fictional characters. While it is my belief that some of the theories discussed by these characters may have merit, each individual reader must explore these characters' viewpoints and come to his or her own interpretations. My hope in writing this novel was that the story would serve as a catalyst and a springboard for people to discuss the important topics of faith, religion, and history.

There is little truth and much fiction in it. However, it's amusing how Christians are so insecure about their own fiction that they attack this one. The idea that Jesus was probably a guy like any other with the same drives as anybody is true, if he existed at all.

It's just a cute theory with conjecture and assumption taking over for evidence

the Da Vinci's Code is a ficticious book. I don't see why this is so hard to understand. Dan Brown even said so.
2006-09-25 05:53:57

Answer 4
If you read Dan Brown's book, he says it is a novel, not truth. If the author says it is fake, why would anybody else believe his made-up novel. It's not real.

Answer 12
the priory of sion was founded in 1953 by a frenchman by the name of pierre plantard. He was a convicted of forgery and admited this under oath. He forged documents that said he was one of many descendants of Jesus christ, presumably to start a cult, but his cult was a flop. Dan brown got his information about christ's bloodline from a book that was based on the forged documents. The book was called holy blood, holy grail (it might have been holy grail, holy blood) This book was written before Plantard admited it was all a lie. Brown didn't check that his resources were all good. The dia vinci code is completely fiction, but it is a good story.
2006-09-25 06:10:59

Answer 13
I don't believe in anything regarding the dumb vinci code. It is fictional and has nothing to do with fact. Just a back door attempt by its author to discredit Christianity.
2006-09-25 06:13:46

Answer 14
Daniel E's quote from the author is far more revealing an answer than just 'fact' or 'fiction' here. Since, as Dan Brown states, "..the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist," one would have to have a thorough knowledge of all of these items to decide whether these things contribute to the same hypothesis of the storyline and its' characters, and if so, to what extent. If the documents and secret rituals are proven, the priory of sion (& its corporal mortification) would have been true (at least during that time.)
