Ted, SPOILER ALERT ... SPOILER ALERT ... The big "secret" of the movie is that Jesus had children with Mary Magdelene, but supposedly the first church of Constantine's era wanted to revise history and keep that part of Jesus' life out of canonical scripture. This is the "Holy Grail," not the cup that Jesus drank out of during the Last Supper, but the bloodline of Jesus' descendants that, if revealed, would turn most of Christianity upside-down. (In French, Holy Grail translates to "San Greal," but the theory is that the French phrase was actually supposed to be "Sang Real," or "royal blood.") The Priory of Sion is an ancient brotherhood that celebrated, among other things, the sacred feminine. Supposedly they guard the secret out of a deal they worked out with the Pope of the Crusades era. As for Opus Dei, it is a conservative sect of Catholicism where some members practice religious machochistic rituals. In the movie, the antagonist is an albino who is working for Opus Dei. (The albino was a reject from Spanish society who was rescued by a priest from Opus Dei.) They're going after the Holy Grail to destroy it and remove that threat to the Catholic Church forever. The murder victim in the Louvre is a member of the Priory of Sion who guards the secret of the Holy Grail. The movie is all about his granddaughter, Sophie Neveau, and Harvard professor Robert Langdon, and their race to uncover the secret before the albino does. Tenchusatsu
