A review by jimbowen0306
The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent

2.0

This book can be divided into three areas. First there’s a bright, contrarian priest who can get away with being contrarian, and spend a lot of money. This means he’s hiding something apparently. Secondly, there are religious groups, in France who believe they have something to hide, and are planning for a different future. Third, the Catholic Church will do whatever it takes to protect theirs.

The authors make some valid points about some things. The lack of a complete paper trail makes to be 100% confident about what was going on, for example. The problem is that I’m a believer on Occam’s Razor, and claiming that the Catholic Church has kept something this significant secret might should a little hard to believe for some.
