* Scienza & Paranormale. Un Numero Speciale. Tutta La Verita Sul Codice da Vinci. Dedicato a Rennes-le-Château e ai suoi enigmi (ANNO XIII – GEN/FEB 2005)

Further to the opinions expressed by Dr Mario Arturo Iannacconne in his article [1] [2].

Since when did either Pierre Plantard or Philippe de Chérisey attach Maurice Leblanc (Arsène Lupin) into their myth of their Priory of Sion?

Iannacconne's article is superficially interesting, but not all the strands fit necessarily together into a coherent whole, a bit like Dan Brown's “The Da Vinci Code” (Random House, 2003). Try again.

It looks like Mario Tomatis has been potentially initiating a well-known believer into becoming a skeptic. Not even Mariano Tomatis, just like Mario Iannaccone, can get things right all the time about either Rennes-le-Château or the Priory of Sion. Nor for that matter, can Massimo Introvigne. The Abbé Bérenger Saunière may have begun as a Monarchist, but the ease of his trafficking in masses activities soon got to the better of him, and the priest soon turned into a money-grabbing creep. He could not resist the temptation of fraud – or the flouting of his superiors at the Carcassonne Bishopric, that he initially treated with disrespect (until Abbé Saunière's superiors summoned him to appear before his 1910-1911 Ecclesiastical Trial).
