- OOPS!!! I hate putting something on Usenet and suddenly remembering
- that I posted something that reads drastically differently from
- what I intended to say.
-
- What I INTENDED to say is that the Christ married to Mary Magdalene
- scenario presented in Holy Blood, Holy Grail is what I use as a working
- hypothesis, along with the idea that Masonry has its roots in
- an organization devoted to the purpose of protecting the "Holy Blood",
- not that modern Masonry has that purpose today. (or has had that
- purpose for the last few hundred years) ... if I only could get people
- to read what I MEANT, not what I said.

- Bright Blessings,
