According to the Dossiers secrets, the primary aim of the Priory of Sion is the protection and

advancement of the descendants of the Merovingian dynasty, their ultimate objective being placing

them on the throne of – or at least in positions of power and influence in - France.

The President of the 1956 Priory of Sion was Andre Bonhomme.

Andre Bonhomme was one of the four founding members of the Priory of Sion in Annemasse in 1956,

along with Pierre Plantard. He is tired of being harassed by inquiries about the nature of the association

and doesn't want any publicity - he refuses to be interviewed on tv or radio. He doesn't understand

where people get the idea that the Priory was anything other than what it was - just a small club of

friends.

This was the statement he made to the BBC in 1996:

"The Priory of Sion doesn't exist anymore. We were never involved in any activities of a political

nature. It was four friends who came together to have fun. We called ourselves the Priory of Sion

because there was a mountain by the same name close-by. I haven't seen Pierre Plantard in over 20

years and I don't know what he's up to but he always had a great imagination. I don't know why

people try to make such a big thing out of nothing."

And to quote French Researcher Jean-Luc Chaumeil from his 1994 book ‘The Table Of Isis, Part 2,

The Templars Of The Apocalypse: The Message Of A Sacred Enigma - Tales, Legends And Myths Of

Rennes-le-Chateau’:

"Finally, the Priory of Sion was created in 1956. We were able to contact former members of this

office, who all burst out laughing when we mentioned Rennes-le-Château. According to its former

President, the association was at the time a "club for boy scouts" and NOTHING MORE….!"

And from the BBC 2 ‘Timewatch’ documentary The History of a Mystery (1996):

"There's no evidence for a Priory of Sion until the 1950s; to find it, you go to the little town of St-

Julien. Under French Law every new club or association must register itself with the Authorities,

and that's why there's a dossier here showing that a Priory of Sion filed the proper forms in 1956.

According to a founding member, this eccentric association took its name not from Jerusalem, but

from a nearby mountain (Col du Mont Sion Alt. 786 m). The dossier also notes that the Priory's self-

styled Grand Master Pierre Plantard, who is central to this story, has done time in jail."

There was a secret order behind the Knight's Templar, which created the Templars as its military and

administrative arm. This order, which has functioned under a variety of names, is most frequently

known as the Prieure de Sion ('Priory of Zion')." Baigent, Leigh & Lincoln, The Holy Blood and the

Holy Grail

"Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln uncovered evidence of a conspiracy surrounding the Order of Sion

(sometimes referred to as the Order of Our Lady of Sion), which involved a number of families from

Champagne. This, they claim, was behind the founding of the Templars. The prime mover in these

events was Hugues, Count of Champagne, who was instrumental in founding the Order and who

eventually joined the Templars himself in 1125. Some historians believe that Hugues was related to

Hughes de Payens - the records are sketchy - but he certainly was his feudal lord." Lynn Picknett &

Clive Prince, Turin Shroud - In Whose Image? The Shocking Truth Unveiled

"Certain writers have suggested that the Templars were 'infected' with the Johannite or Mandaean

heresy - which denounced Jesus as a 'false prophet' and acknowledged John [the Baptist] as the true

Messiah. In the course of their activities in the Middle East the Templars undoubtedly established

contact with Johannite sects..." Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail

"The Grand-Pontiffs of this sect [the Johannites] took the title of Christ, and laid claim to an unbroken

chain of succession in their office. At the time of the foundation of the Order of the Temple (AD 1118),

the Grand-Pontiff was named Theocletes; he was acquainted with Hugo de Payens and initiated him

into the mysteries and privileges of his Church, promising him the sovereign priesthood and supreme

government, finally designating him as his successor." Kenneth Mackenzie, The Royal Masonic

Cyclopaedia

At least two alleged Grand Masters of the Prieure de Sion showed an involvement in Johannite-related

activities. The allegation that Hughes de Payens was secretly a Johannite was repeated in the nineteenth

century, first by the Vatican and later by the Theosophists.

"The Johannites ascribed to Saint John [the Baptist] the foundation of their Secret Church, and the

Grand Pontiffs of the Sect assumed the title of Christos, Anointed, or Consecrated, and claimed to have

succeeded one another from Saint John by an uninterrupted succession of pontifical powers. He who, at

the period of the of the foundation of the Order of the Temple, claimed these imaginary prerogatives,

was named THEOCLET; he knew HUGHES DE PAYENS, he installed him into the Mysteries and

hopes of his pretended church, he seduced him by the notions of Sovereign Priesthood and Supreme

royalty, and finally designated him as his successor." "Allocution of Pio Nono against the Free

Masons"

"The true version of the history of Jesus, and the early Christianity was imparted to Hugh de Payens, by

the Grand-Pontiff of the Order of the Temple (of the Nazarene or Johannite sect), one named

Theocletes, after which it was learned by some Knights in Palestine, from the higher and more

intellectual members of the St. John sect, where were initiated into its mysteries.

Freedom of intellectual thought and the restoration of one and universal religion was their secret object.

Sworn to the vow of obedience, poverty, and chastity, they were at first the true Knights of John the

Baptist, crying in the wilderness and living on wild honey and locusts. Such is the tradition and the true

kabalistic version."

Mysteries of Rennes-le-Chateau and the Prieure

du Sion

by Steve Mizrach

Here are the basic outlines of the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau. It was clear that Berenger Sauniere,

the

parish priest of the small village during the late 19th and early 20th century, had been receiving vast

sums of

money to refurbish the local church and also to build many structures in the area, such as his Tower of

the

Magdalene (Tour Magdala). Sauniere died in 1917, leaving the secret of where he got his fabulous

wealth to

his housekeeper, Marie Dernaud, who promised to reveal it on her deathbed -- but sadly she had a

stroke

which left her paralyzed and unable to speak before her death in 1953. Speculation was rife on the

source of

the parish priest's money. Was it the lost treasure of the Templars or the Cathars in the area? Might it

have

been buried Visigothic gold? Or was he blackmailing the Church with some terrible secret? The

evidence that

points to the last possibility is that Sauniere's confession before his death was so shocking that the

priest who

heard it denied him absolution and last rites.

The mystery is rendered greater by a series of parchments found by the cleric in 1891, which contained

easily discovered (but extraordinarily difficult to translate) cipher. They were apparently written by his

predecessor, Abbe Antoine Bigou, confessor to Marie d'Hautpoul, in 1781. (The same cipher appears

on her

tombstone.) The parchments were, on the face of it, Latin transcriptions of passages from the Gospels;

but

they contained deeper mysteries. Sauniere also appears to have left certain other "clues" in the highly

unusual redesign of his church and of the other structures in the area. Hidden within those Latin

parchments

was a message in French:

"THIS TREASURE BELONGS TO DAGOBERT II KING AND TO SION AND HE IS THERE

DEAD."

Within the second parchment was an even stranger message:

"SHEPHERDESS NO TEMPTATION THAT POUSSIN TENIERS HOLD THE KEY PEACE 681

BY THE CROSS AND THIS HORSE OF GOD I COMPLETE (could also trans. as DESTROY) THIS

DAEMON GUARDIAN AT MIDDAY BLUE APPLES."

A third cipher that appears, not in the documents, but at Shugborough Hall's Shepherd Monument, is

the

curious "D.O.U.O.S.V.A.V.V.M" which has never been translated.

There is a famous painting by Poussin entitled Les Bergers D'Arcadie (the Arcadian shepherds) which

shows

them around a tomb containing the mysterious inscription "Et in Arcadia Ego..." This tomb appears to

be a

virtual replica of one not too dissimilar to it right outside of Rennes-le-Chateau. Three intrepid

historians

searched far and away for others to help decipher the puzzle. Suffice to say, Lincoln, Baigent, and

Leigh did a

masterful job of "unearthing" the Merovingian monarch Dagobert and tied together many mysteries of

history with a fantastic thesis that can be stated as thus: Jesus and Mary Magdalene, legitimate nobility

from the Judaic Houses of Benjamin and David, married and sired heirs. Jesus did not die on the cross

but

went either to England or India.

The Magdalene's heirs married into the Visigoth families of the time and gave birth to the sacred

Merovingian ruling family. The Visigoths of the area might have themselves been descended from the

House

of Benjamin, which had fled to the Arcadia region of Greece, and thence north into France, a thousand

years

earlier. The Merovingians were not wiped out by the Carolingian usurpers, and their lineage survives in

some of the other royal families of Europe; apparently the goal of the secret society entitled the Prieure

Sion is a Merovingian restoration in France. Apparently. For nothing is as it seems with the Rennes

mystery.

But in the hands of Leigh, Lincoln, and Baigent, it seems to encompass myriads of others -- the

dissolution of

the Templars, the downfall of the Cathars, the bizarre Rosicrucian manifestoes, and other political

intrigues

of French history. For it seems that Sion has a grievance against the Church, who betrayed the

Merovingian

dynasty and crowned its destroyers. If Sauniere was an agent of Sion, it might explain why he was

denied

absolution.

Village of Mystery

Henri Boudet, the Abbe' of Rennes-les-Bains (which neighbors Rennes-le-Chateau) who wrote The

True

Celtic Language and the Cromlech at Rennes-les-bains, may have been the "brains" behind Sauniere.

Lincoln thinks his book may offer the key to the mystery. Boudet appears to argue in the book the silly

thesis

that the Celts spoke Anglo-Saxon, and that it -- English, in effect -- was the language which was

spoken by

Noah's sons before the Tower of Babel. But David Wood and Henry Lincoln conclude that the book

may be

averring something else -- that perhaps there was a universal language before the Deluge: Number (or

Measure). And that the "key" to the "Cromlech" of Rennes-les-Bains might be the old English mile.

Lincoln

believes that metrology may play an important part in the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery. In any case,

other

authors have noted that Boudet died under strange circumstances, and that his book may have been

sought

out and destroyed by the Bishop de Beausejour. Boudet, a linguistic scholar, would have been a logical

choice for Sauniere to approach with his curious Latin parchments.

There are a few grisly murders that have taken place in the area to add to the air of mystery. One was

that of

the old priest Jean-Antoine-Maurice Gelis. Toward the end of his life he became a paranoid hermit and

recluse; the only person he would admit to his presbytery was his niece, to bring him food. Despite his

absurd

precautions, someone surprised him on All Saints' Eve in 1897, bashed him with some fire tongs,

delivered

four blows from an ax, and then reverently laid the corpse on the ground with the hands crossed over

the

chest. Whoever it was ransacked the room, but took no money. A team of researchers found three

corpses in

Sauniere's garden in 1956, all of them shot. Were they World War II victims? Or something else..?

Noel

Corbu, who took care of Marie Denarnaud after her paralyzing stroke, and who may have learned of

something from her incoherent dying whispers, was killed in a horrendous car crash in 1953 that some

suspect was not an accident. Sauniere's "heart attack" in 1917 came on the suspicious date of January

17th

(St. Anthony's day) and there are hints that the coffin had been ordered in advance. A courier who

carried the

secret dossiers found by Sauniere, Fakhur el Islam, was found dead on train tracks just outside of

Melun,

East Germany, in 1967.

There are many more tantalizing things about Rennes-le-Chateau. According to one researcher, it may

laid out in the shape of a "Ship of the Dead" with a helmeted warrior borne to sea. Yet another thinks

that

the Paris Meridian may have been drawn so that it quite deliberately passes, ley-fashion, straight

through

Rennes-le-Chateau, Arques, and Conques. Still others see links between the site and Rosslyn Chapel in

Scotland or Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire, England. It is known that Sauniere took his parchments

to the

Abbe Bieil, of the seminary of St. Sulpice, which was where the Abbe's nephew Emile Hoffet launched

the

Catholic Modernist rebellion which would eventually land Modernist works on the Vatican's banned

list.

Saint Sulpice's feast day, January 17th, is the date of Sauniere's sudden stroke. He was the bishop of

Bourges, on the Paris Meridian, and in his seminary is an obelisk with a copper line marking the exact

point

of the alignment.

Codes, Ciphers, and Scripts

Perhaps the most enigmatic elements mentioned in the text as decoded by Lionel Fanthorpe is the

phrase

"Blue Apples at Noon." The code in the parchments is only decipherable through the use of the knight's

tour

-- a logic puzzle wherein one "jumps" a knight to every square on a chess board, once and only once. It

is a

puzzle which has only one solution -- as does the code, clearly. But the use of chessboard imagery at

Rennes-le-Chateau is striking.

Clearly, to some degree, the puzzle lies in the layout of the redesign of Sauniere's church, and his other

building projects. The village parish church had been dedicated to the Magdalene in 1059; during the

restoration, he found the mysterious parchment (supposedly) in a hollow Visigothic pillar underneath

the altar

stone. A statue of the demon Asmodeus guards near the door. The plaques depicting the Stations of the

Cross contain bizarre inconsistencies. One shows a child swathed in Scottish plaid. Another has

Pontius Pilate

wearing a veil. St. Joseph and Mary are each depicted holding a Christ child, as if to allude to the old

legend

that Christ had a twin. Other statues are of rather esoteric saints in unusual postures: St. Roch displays

his

wounded thigh (like the Grail King Anfortas), St. Anthony the Hermit holds a closed book, St.

Germaine

releases a bevy of roses from her apron, and the Magdalene is shown holding a vase. Sauniere's library

and

study, the Tour Magdala, is placed precariously over a precipitous chasm at a place where one would

foolish to build such a permanent structure, unless...

There are many writers connected with the Rennes mystery. It might be productive to reexamine their

works

with a new eye for such hidden codes. One, the novelist Victor Hugo, and another, the playwright, Jean

Cocteau, are said to have presided over the Prieure. But other writers appear to be strongly connected

to the

mystery. Three in particular are the so-called "Inklings": fantasy writer J.R.R. Tolkien, "Screwtape"

writer

C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams. Lionel Fanthorpe also suspects that Isaac Asimov, Jules Verne,

George

McDonald, and Umberto Eco may somehow have provided clues to the mystery in their books. Sir

Walter

Raleigh, who is now thought to have been involved in an esoteric body known as the "School of Night"

(whose motto was that "inspiration comes to the philosopher at night, when nature and the rest of

humanity

sleeps"), may have also been part of the Order of Sion. The theme of "Arcadia" was prominent in

Elizabethan literature, and it appears in the works of writers such as Edmund Spenser, Sir Phillip

Sidney, and

even Shakespeare, for whom the word was synonymous with the Golden Age. Through the historical
