Da Vinci (behind the controversy)
Tuesday, May 9th, 2006everybody knows Dan Brown. they say that he’s the man, the embodiment of knowledge for the information age, the man who was able to reveal the secrets of people, people like Leonardo Da Vinci.
we all know that Leonardo was a scholar, an inventor, an artist, and an individual who expressed his emotions through his works. but do we all know that he was a member of a secret society called " The Priory of Scion"?
the Priory of Scion is a group of individuals from all walks of life who made a solemn vow to keep the secret of the order. what secret? the very secret that will smite right through the face of the Roman Catholic Church. people who read " The Da Vinci" code found it absurd, to think that a kind of thng really happened in the life of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. but come to think of it there is a poin to which why Leonardo and the other members kept that secret. because any possibilities can happen.
Jesus was the Son Of God who was born as a man in order to fulfill His Father’s promise of salvation of the human race. but since he was born as man, isn’t it weird that his own father also gave him man’s needs? like nourishment, love, compassion, and also the weirdest thing, sexual desire. i have to admit since i am a devout Catholic that am shaking in my shoes as i’m composing this post. but to the fact that it’s quite possible for Christ to love and give in to his desires for he was only human, which he was until he ressurected and went back to His Father’s kingdom in Heaven. it is possible for Christ to marry Mary Magdalene, and most of all, it is possible for them to bear children. and it’s not a crime to commit such things. as God have said on the book of Genesis when he created Adam and Eve, "fill the Earth and subdue". so in the end Jesus is not guilty of any crime except that He loved a woman who was worthy of it and gave him children to continue his work.
point is, if the order’s secret is about Mary Magdalene being the wife of Jesus is still not accepted in the Roman Catholic Church, and they find these as works of the members’ imagination and a form of blasphemy, i say the only way to settle this little powow is to make a descent investigation. only that way will it be able to revealed to the public and make everyone of us realize that to love and fulfill your duty as a son of God is not a crime and it’s not worth any punishment, but just the law of nature, and God’s own will that drove us to do such things.
