Author and Book of THoTH member Philip Gardiner has written a very in depth article looking at the secret code. This article follows through from the Priory of Sion, to the Sang Real(or San Graal or Holy Grail, depending on the interpretation), to Leonardo Da Vinci, to the Catholic Church to reveal the truth behind the Da Vinci Code. I'd like to quote the first and the last paragraphs, and let everyone read what's between them.

The Da Vinci Code and the madness that surrounds it is indicative of one thing – the fact that in the 21st century mankind is still in the dark about a great many things. We may have sent rockets into space; we may be able to develop nano-technology and we can even heat up food with micro-wave radiation, but we are still no closer to the truth about our own religions and the secretive organisations that surround them. The most powerful of them all is of course the Catholic Church and it is this Empire building religion that lies at the heart of the book.

So what is the truth? Does the Catholic Church have its tentacles in every part of the globe? Are they at the centre of a huge web of control? I have said on many occasions – if you want to win a football match, then own both teams. This is a skill that mankind has used for centuries, playing both sides. The historical evidence shows that the Jesuit Order, and now the Opus Dei have been at the centre of the growth of wealth, at the heart of power and control. What more do we need to understand that our religious leaders are not always there for the love of God? And just who is promulgating this “bloodline” nonsense? Who owns team Brown?

This is another great article from a great author. You won't be disappointed if you take the time to read it through.
