In response to a recent criticism... Of course, the believers in the Rennes-le-Château Hoax never misrepresent information to fit their own bias about the story of Abbé Saunière!

The hilarious grasping at straws is pathetic. We witness it all the time and there is soon to be “Les 13 Conférences de Rennes-le-Château” to excite the True Believers from 6 July to 25 August.

What makes the True Believers really hilarious is their bullish and supercilious attitude. Yet they do not have the slightest bit of evidence to substantiate the existence of any “mystery” about Abbé Bérenger Saunière and Rennes-le-Château – on the other hand we have thousands of pages of Saunière's own handwriting testifying to the existence of Trafficking in Masses – thousands of pages that Abbé Saunière refused to present at his Ecclesiastical Trial 1910-1911 – and instead dreaming up a bogus “List of Donors”.

Indeed, it is not that unusual to see websites devoted to the “mystery” without ever once referring to Saunière's Trafficking in Masses – and if it is mentioned, “Well, here is is – but there is still a REAL MYSTERY that we are all overlooking.”

Such curious people, if they belong to any archeological society, should get in touch and see what they think of the Rennes-le-Château “mystery”, the Priory of Sion, the Jesus Bloodline, and other assorted crazyness.

The quotes by René Espeut were originally given in the newspaper Midi Libre and repeated by René Descadeillas in his book Mythologie du trésor de Rennes: Histoire Veritable de L'Abbé Saunière, Curé de Rennes-le-Château – René Descadeillas, who originally was a believer but changed his mind after seeing the evidence of Saunière's Trafficking in Masses that were shown to him by Antoine Captier and Claire Corbu. And of course, our Believers have NEVER misrepresented René Descadeillas!

Since the name of Jean-Luc Chaumeil was mentioned, our Believers should be extremely interested in the correspondence in his possession of Pierre Plantard, Philippe de Chérisey and Gérard de Sède – surely this correspondence should lift the curtain on the confidence trickery of that trio of authors ONCE AND FOR ALL – but no, to date no Believer has expressed any interest, but instead nurturing fantasies about the origin of the “parchments” without even realising that there is no “decoding technique” to the Large Parchment, and that it can only be “decoded” by the person who devised the arbitrary and idiosyncratic technique of revealing its final “message”. The evidence has always been there for everyone to see for 50 years in Henry Lincoln's own presentation on the documentary “The Priest, the Painter and the Devil” (1974).

There will soon be a book to be published that will distort the part played in all of this fiasco of madness by Pierre Plantard, Philippe de Chérisey and Gérard de Sède.

I am sure that the crazy beliefs of René Espeut about the Habsburgs and Rennes-le-Château (that were also ignored by René Descadeillas) had nothing to do with his testimony of the evidence of Saunière's Handwritten Archives, the existence of which that no-one can seriously dispute! Especially since the bringing to public attention of the 820 pages of correspondence record of letters sent and received by the curé of Rennes-le-Château 1896-1915, existing on microfilm in Archives de l'Aude, Carcassonne (File numbers 1Mi8l/l and IMi8l/2).
