The Alleged Priory
The claims described the Priory of Sion as a secret society that was founded in the 11th century, to protect and preserve a secret involving the bloodline of Jesus Christ. The Priory allegedly created the medieval order of Knights Templar as its military arm, and had a series of Grand Masters which included such notable (and real) historical figures as Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci. The existence of the thousand-year-old Priory was supposedly "revealed" in the 1970s, via a series of documentaries and books by alleged pseudohistory writers Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln, such as in their 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, which they claimed was pieced together from evidence in documents which had been found in the French National Library, as well as documents which were supposedly found in the late 1800s, hidden inside a pillar of a small church in southern France. Further attention came to the Priory when it was referred to as a factual society by the 2003 bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code.
[edit]The Actual Priory
The real Priory of Sion is an association that was founded in 1956, in the French town of Annemasse, as the beginning of a massive hoax.
As with all associations, French law required the association to be registered with the government. It was registered with its Statutes at the Sub-Prefecture of Saint Julien-en-Genevois, in May 1956, and its registration was noted on 20 July 1956, in the Journal Officiel de la République Française. The founders and signatories are inscribed with their pseudonyms as Pierre Plantard (known as "Chyren"), André Bonhomme (known as "Stanis Bellas"), Jean Delaval, and Armand Defago. The purpose of the association according to its Statutes was entered as, "Études et entraide des membres" ("education and mutual aid of the members"). In practice, the originator of the association and its key protagonist was Pierre Plantard, its General Secretary, although its nominal head ("President") was André Bonhomme. The choice of the name, "Sion" was based on a popular local feature, a hill south of Annemasse in France, known as 'Mont Sion'.[2] "Sion" is also the standard French spelling of "Zion", originally the name of a hill in Jerusalem. It had already been used in the name of previous Catholic organisations, such as the Congregation of Notre-Dame de Sion. The accompanying title, or subtitle to the name was, Chevalerie d'Institutions et Règles Catholiques d'Union Independante et Traditionaliste: this forms the acronym CIRCUIT and translates as "Knighthood of Catholic Rule and Institution and of Independent Traditionalist Union."
The Statutes and Registration Documents of the Priory of Sion were deposited on 7 May 1956, while the first issue of its journal Circuit is dated 27 May 1956 (in total, twelve numbers of the journal appeared). Considering the political instability of the French Fourth Republic, the objectives of the journal were regarded with suspicion by the local authorities. It was indicated as a "Bulletin d'Information et Défense des Droits et de la Liberté des Foyers HLM" ("News Bulletin for the Defence of the Rights and the Freedom of Council Housing"). Indeed, some of the articles took a political position in the local Council elections. Others attacked and criticized property developers of Annemasse. It also opposed the gentrification of the area. The offices of the Priory of Sion and the journal were at Plantard's council flat.
The articles of the Priory of Sion as indicated in its Statutes also desired the creation of a monastic order, but the activities of the Priory of Sion bore no resemblance whatsoever to the objectives as outlined in its Statutes. Article VII says that its members are expected, "to carry out good deeds, to help the Roman Catholic Church, teach the truth, defend the weak and the oppressed". There is ample evidence that it had several members, as indicated by the numerous articles contained in its journal Circuit, written by a number of different people. Towards the end of 1956 the association had aims to forge links with the local Catholic Church of the area involving a school bus service run by both the Priory of Sion and the church of St Joseph in Annemasse.
[edit]The Hoax
Plantard hoped that the Priory of Sion would become an influential cryptopolitical irregular masonic lodge (similar to P2) dedicated to the restoration of chivalry and monarchy, which would promote Plantard's own claim to the throne of France.
Between 1961 and 1984 Plantard contrived a mythical pedigree of the Priory of Sion claiming that it was the offshoot of the monastic order housed in the Abbey of Sion, which had been founded in the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the First Crusade and later absorbed by the Jesuits in 1617. The mistake is often made that this Abbey of Sion was a "Priory of Sion", but there is a difference between an abbey and a priory. Calling his original 1956 group "Priory of Sion" presumably gave Plantard the later idea to claim that his organization had been historically founded in Jerusalem during the Crusades.

and that's just a start.

It is not true. The Old T make it rather clear that the Messiah wil come from the line of David. After King Saul, the ruling tribe was removed from Benjamin by God himself.
King Saul did not take the advice from the prophet, and cause the death of a good prince, Jonathan.
Sion is but a ploy to add on things to Jesus. They were form many years after the bible was written. Interesting and juicy story, but all friction.
If you wish to know more about Jesus mentioned in Old T, you may email to me.

The priory of Sion is a actual team. no matter if the protrayal of it contained in the Davinci Code is real or no longer, i do no longer comprehend. i don't believe that they carry the keys to the gospel of Christ although. I do in spite of the undeniable fact that believe that Mary and Jesus were Married. i think that we are comanded to be Married- Christ become baptized- no longer because he necessary it, yet because it turned right into a comandment- why then might want to he no longer stick with each of the comandments. There are numerous places contained in the bible that would nicely be info that they were Mary- a million- even as Jesus become resurected- the first human being he acknowledged to become Mary Magdelene- she become also the guy who become being concerned for him. 2- there is an account of Jesus being on the homestead of Mary and Martha- Martha receives extremely disillusioned because Mary is spending her time listening to Jesus teach and by no ability assisting her practice the Dinner. Jesus tells Martha that Mary is the position she needs to be. If she become his spouse, all of us comprehend that he traveled plenty- it really is smart that Mary might want to spend as a lot time as she might want to with him. 3- even as Jesus heard that Lazurus had died- it says that he wept. He could were very on the fringe of Lazurus if he cried. And once Mary heard that Jesus become there, she did not await him she ran to satisfy him, even as Martha stayed lower back. 4- the completed water into wine ingredient- Mary (the mum) become nerve-racking about wine being on the marriage. In Jewish custom it truly is the duty of the groom to provide the wine. Now this honestly would were the marriage of an in intensity chum or chum- in spite of the undeniable fact that it really is smart that it become his wedding ceremony. those are basically a number of the flaws that factor to info that they were married. those do no longer advise that they were married- yet they particular do factor to that reality in my options. there's no info that they weren't married both. i don't believe that there is a bloodline. because of the divine nature of Christ- that nature might want to were handed by way of the generations and would nicely be used the incorrect way in the experience that they were no longer taught striking concepts. it truly is all my own perception and by no ability a teching of my faith or any toher faith i comprehend of- yet i think that there is info that they were married.
