DE MOLAY VIEW OF DA VINCI CODE
It is often said by Masons that the esoteric aspects of Freemasonry are not mainstream--that they are "irregular." A somewhat different picture emerges from this DeMolay blog.
DeMolay is the youth group for teenage sons of Masons. These young men readily acknowledge that Dan Brown's novel is "fiction," however they believe the fiction is limited to the specific story line and not to the "facts" given in the novel.
Scroll down to the sixth entry which offers a "further reading" list. There you will see, among other authors, some well-known writers on the occult aspects of "Egyptian Rite" Masonry, such as Manly P. Hall, Arthur Edward Waite, Oswald Wirth, and Foster Bailey. In a few short years these young Masonic scholars will be leading the lodges, and these ideas will be a part of their Masonic truth.
The Last book on the list is "Rosslyn: Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail."
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
