The Catholic Church has sought to vigorously suppress and simultaneously denounce Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code. And with the release of Ron Howard’s blockbuster movie of the same name starring Tom Hanks, the religious right has again tried to discredit the work.
Investigative reporters Mariano Fernandez Urresti and Lorenzo Fernández Bueno went on an exhaustive search for answers to separate fact from fiction. While conducting their research, the authors traveled to more than twenty different countries, tracing each piece of evidence that shapes this very unusual and compelling puzzle.
The result was the European bestseller, The Keys to the Da Vinci Code: The Hidden Lineage of Jesus and Other Mysteries. The book itself is not immune to controversy and second guessing by those who seek to control the minds of their followers.
As the Western world engages in one of the liveliest debates in its history, two highly respected investigative reporters traveled thousands of miles to get the truth about the major points of controversy in The Da Vinci Code. The Catholic Church has sought to vigorously suppress and simultaneously denounce Dan Brown’s novel. And with the release of Ron Howard’s blockbuster movie, The Da Vinci Code, starring Tom Hanks, the religious right has again tried to discredit the work.
"What is the Catholic Church afraid of?" asks David Rippe, President of Celestia International, the firm handling media for the book. "It’s an entertaining piece of fiction that has piqued the curiosity of millions. Does the Church fear those who are inquisitive and open to alternative views of history?"
Not content to let the controversy rage without the facts, investigative reporters Mariano Fernandez Urresti and Lorenzo Fernández Bueno went on an exhaustive search for answers. While conducting their research, the authors traveled to more than twenty different countries, tracing each piece of evidence that shapes this very unusual and compelling puzzle.
The result was the European bestseller, The Keys to the Da Vinci Code: The Hidden Lineage of Jesus and Other Mysteries. The book itself is not immune to controversy and second guessing by those who seek to control the minds of their followers.
But why bury the truth? Is it to protect a dark secret? Is there too much power and money associated with maintaining the status quo? The Keys to the Da Vinci Code presents the facts necessary to make one’s own decisions about Jesus, what the Church actually believes about Him, and what the truth of the Holy Grail may truly be. Its pages unravel the tangled strands of history woven through Christianity, including:
• The nature of Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdalene
• The story of the Knights Templar and their sacred, secret duty
• The shadowy Priory of Sion
• The descendants of Jesus of Nazareth and Mary
• The mysterious manuscripts discovered at Rennes-le-Chateau
• The Church’s 1700 year attempt at control through censorship and misinformation
• Much, much more
The Keys to the Da Vinci Code is an indispensable tool for understanding the truths behind the Da Vinci Code novel and motion picture. It also has the ability to force readers to redefine some of their most fundamental beliefs.
Indeed, the discussion of the mysteries of Christ’s lineage is supported by an array of visual and material evidence presented in documents and photographs. David Rippe states, "The easiest thing to do is to read the book and judge for one’s self."
