A very informative article -- and it also applies to Frank Griswold's likeminded friends among American Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodists, and Lutherans. (By the way, I am not surprised that the primitive Protestants on this forum don't get it.)

The Gnostic goal of claiming imitation keys of the Kingdom are articulated so clearly in this article, but we also see the expression of this yearning at the heart of the American Religion in the popularity of the odious novel The Da Vinci Code.

Amy Wellborn, well-known blogster that she is, soon will release a fine book debunking The Da VInci Code. It may even be available this week. I'm a bit out of touch with it, because I am here with my daughter, fellow FReeper Maeve, who has had a beautiful little boy.

Maeve and Siobhan, congratulations! (And do I see a pattern here? *\;-)

le meas,
