Yes, I've read it all, though can't say I've "studied" it. Can't say I believe any of it except that these seem to be the theology of a "religious" sect and do not feel at ease speaking against any religion(even those which I might think are cults).

Yes, I've read "Holy Blood Holy Grail" and it seems as like these other works simply expound on those lines. Looks like this (possibly self- proclaimed) Prince Stewart is using the ideas of these books, the history of the Knights Templar,& the ancient Celtic Church theology, to
reenforce his claim to the throne.

I, being an American, find the very concept of "the divine right of kings" distasteful. As a "traditional" Christian I should view any writings of the possible sires of Christ the same. Note, I said "should", but as I'm aware much was left out of the Bible by King James and a full translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls is far from available to the layperson the best term I can use would be "highly skeptical wonder".
when I read things such as this. This "wonder" is made stronger by the many evils undertaken through all of history in the name of religion.
It's hard to be "enlightened", tolerant, & saved at the same time.

I guess we should all be reminded that there are British history books which describe G. Washington as "terrorist" and ancient Roman scrolls speaking of the "new" Christian religion as a cult.
