Full of technical jargon and certainly totally lacking in provenance (which is its intention), the document “The Secret of John XXIII” – is it a madman's fantasy or a gag perpetrated by the team of Monty Python's Flying Circus...?

For example, the “parchments” were first published in 1967 by Gérard de Sède – but the decoded message found in the large parchment was first given in the Bibliotheque Nationale in 1965 in a work ascribed to Madeleine Blancasall, and the message could only be arrived at from the epitaph of Marie De Negri's Tombstone by the person who devised the “Bergere Pas de Tentation” decoded text – and by absolutely nobody else. The 1965 source just happens to originate from the environment of Pierre Plantard and Philippe de Chérisey. The author of “The Secret of John XIII” did not know what texts the two parchments were copied from, or that the author of the two parchments did not understand Latin. In fact, the author's ignorance is overwhelming.

The relevance of John XXIII has been arrived at on this website and it is everything to do with “Plantardist pseudo-Catholic Eschatology”.

The author of “The Secret of John XXIII” fails to provide the reader with any evidence to show any connection between Rennes-le-Château and Shugborough Hall. The “relationship” between Poussin and Les Pontils was only first given in an article by Jean Pellet & Gérard de Sède, Le secret de Nicolas Poussin (in Le Grand-Albert, Journal des Sciences Secrètes, Number 9, pages 46-48, 1972). Therefore we can date this mish-mash of madness to after 1972.

The Coume-Sourde stone – that never existed – looked completely differently during the Noël Corbu period then when it did when first published by Gérard de Sède in 1967.

And so it goes – on and on – full of rubbish and utter nonsense, undoubtedly created with the fullest of intention to confuse and to obfuscate. A real exercise in wanting to become a Plantard Wannabe.

This is what the subject matter of Rennes-le-Château has really been reduced to. A textbook of fantasy for cranks and treasure hunters willing to believe in any old rubbish.
