In medieval Europe, a new power was rising. A heresy had
infiltrated the Catholic-hierarchy beginning a centuries-long
campaign to alter the Churchs original teachings. This heresy was a
penitent movement, based on a Babylonian cult of the dead. The
bizarre public spectacles they displayed -- and still do today in
the streets of Europe -- include acts of penance and
self-mortification, but there are smokescreens to draw attention
from the movements true workings. The authors led a team of
researchers tracking this movement from the Middle East to Italy,
Germany and France. Eventually, they realized that the mystery of
Rennes-le-Chteau, linked with the extraordinary fortune of one
Brenger Saunire, was another episode in the long and intriguing
tale of this heretical movement. The Rise reveals that within the
world of religion there have long been secret battles between the
Church hierarchy and various movements that have tried to penetrate
and take it oversometimes successfully!
