The Da Vinci Code In Marseille

On our way back from the Cannes area we stopped in Marseille for the day. Raylene with her usual ability to find amazing places discovered the Church of St. Victor. We visited the church and found that there was a crypt beneath the building. The name of the crypt was the Crypt of the Innocent Saints. As we descended into the crypt, we were enveloped by a cool calmness that was instantly soothing to the soul. Then we approached the center of the crypt. There, chiseled into the rock wall was a woman, who, to my surprise was clearly pregnant. Stepping back a few yards, Raylene looked up and she discovered the sign of the cross chiseled into the ceiling above. The cross was surrounded by a circle and inside the circle there were the initials M M. I was utterly amazed. Raylene said that this was as far as the artists of the time dared go to indicate that Christ was married to Mary Magdalene. They spoke in the language of symbolism and only the very keen eye of the beholder could experience the arising of understanding, presumed it knew how and where to look.

That is part of the message of the Da Vinci Code movie. Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and he had children with her. A serious blow to the Vatican's patriarchal, power obsessed system.

Alvin Toffler, a futurist and counselor to the last 6 US presidents, said that we have now entered into the era of the Information Revolution and that we are going to see information spreading at increasing speed around the planet. He indicated that many things that have been kept secret will be revealed, simply because of the fact that the information can travel around the globe in 3 seconds.

I feel this speed of communication will break the grip of old power structures that could only maintain their control over people by keeping them ignorant. This may explain why the Vatican is losing its influence in the West and many of its faithful live in poor third world countries.
