Sophie
looked
baffled
in
the
glow
of
the
message
scrawled
across
the
Mona
Lisa
’
s
face
.
SO
DARK
THE
CON
OF
MAN
«
Sophie
,
»
Langdon
said
,
»
the
Priory
’
s
tradition
of
perpetuating
goddess
worship
is
based
on
a
belief
that
powerful
men
in
the
early
Christian
church
‘
conned
’
the
world
by
propagating
lies
that
devalued
the
female
and
tipped
the
scales
in
favor
of
the
masculine
.
»
Sophie
remained
silent
,
staring
at
the
words
.
»
The
Priory
believes
that
Constantine
and
his
male
successors
successfully
converted
the
world
from
matriarchal
paganism
to
patriarchal
Christianity
by
waging
a
campaign
of
propaganda
that
demonized
the
sacred
feminine
,
obliterating
the
goddess
from
modern
religion
forever
.

Sophie
’
s
expression
remained
uncertain
.
«
My
grandfather
sent
me
to
this
spot
to
find
this
.
He
must
be
trying
to
tell
me
more
than
that
.
»
Langdon
understood
her
meaning
.
She
thinks
this
is
another
code
.
Whether
a
hidden
meaning
existed
here
or
not
,
Langdon
could
not
immediately
say
.
His
mind
was
still
grappling
with
the
bold
clarity
of
Saunière
’
s
outward
message
.
So
dark
the
con
of
man
,
he
thought
.
So
dark
indeed
.
Nobody
could
deny
the
enormous
good
the
modern
Church
did
in
today
’
s
troubled
world
,
and
yet
the
Church
had
a
deceitful
and
violent
history
.
Their
brutal
crusade
to
»
reeducate
»
the
pagan
and
feminine
-
worshipping
religions
spanned
three
centuries
,
employing
methods
as
inspired
as
they
were
horrific
.

The
Catholic
Inquisition
published
the
book
that
arguably
could
be
called
the
most
blood
-
soaked
publication
in
human
history
.
Malleus
Maleficarum
–
or
The
Witches
’
Hammer
–
indoctrinated
the
world
to
»
the
dangers
of
freethinking
women
»
and
instructed
the
clergy
how
to
locate
,
torture
,
and
destroy
them
.
Those
deemed
»
witches
»
by
the
Church
included
all
female
scholars
,
priestesses
,
gypsies
,
mystics
,
nature
lovers
,
herb
gatherers
,
and
any
women
»
suspiciously
attuned
to
the
natural
world
.
»
Midwives
also
were
killed
for
their
heretical
practice
of
using
medical
knowledge
to
ease
the
pain
of
childbirth
–
a
suffering
,
the
Church
claimed
,
that
was
God
’
s
rightful
punishment
for
Eve
’
s
partaking
of
the
Apple
of
Knowledge
,
thus
giving
birth
to
the
idea
of
Original
Sin
.
During
three
hundred
years
of
witch
hunts
,
the
Church
burned
at
the
stake
an
astounding
five
million
women
.
The
propaganda
and
bloodshed
had
worked
.
Today
’
s
world
was
living
proof
.
Women
,
once
celebrated
as
an
essential
half
of
spiritual
enlightenment
,
had
been
banished
from
the
temples
of
the
world
.
There
were
no
female
Orthodox
rabbis
,
Catholic
priests
,
nor
Islamic
clerics
.
The
once
hallowed
act
of
Hieros
Gamos
–
the
natural
sexual
union
between
man
and
woman
through
which
each
became
spiritually
whole
–
had
been
recast
as
a
shameful
act
.
Holy
men
who
had
once
required
sexual
union
with
their
female
counterparts
to
commune
with
God
now
feared
their
natural
sexual
urges
as
the
work
of
the
devil
,
collaborating
with
his
favorite
accomplice
…
woman
.
