Podcasts about The Da Vinci Code

La vérité a-t-elle toujours une place dans notre monde? La vérité a encore une place dans notre monde, mais elle est fragilisée par la polarisation, les fake news et la confusion entre opinions et faits. Pour qu'elle demeure importante dans les milieux d'Églises, nous devons questionner nos certitudes, distinguer faits et opinions, et privilégier une recherche sincère fondée sur l'humilité et l'échange. Dans cet épisode, Joan et Stéphane reçoivent Yana-Malena Charras-Sancho. Ensemble, il et elles montrent que chacun tend à construire sa propre « vérité », influencée par ses croyances et son environnement et soulignent qu'elle demeure essentielle pour dialoguer et se comprendre. [Stéphane] Bonjour, bienvenue à Question de croire, un podcast qui s'intéresse à la foi et la spiritualité, une question à la foi. Cette semaine, la vérité a-t-elle toujours une place dans notre monde? [Joan] Bonjour Stéphane. [Stéphane] Bonjour Joan. Bonjour à toutes les personnes à l'écoute. [Joan] Aujourd'hui, nous avons une « special guest, » une invitée spéciale que je recommande à tout le monde parce qu'elle est hyper sympa, hyper intelligente. Elle vient d'une famille très, très cool. Il s'agit de Yana-Malena Charras-Sancho, notre deuxième fille. [Yana-Malena] Bonjour à tous. Je suis la fille de Joan qui fait ce podcast. [Stéphane] Bonjour et bienvenue. Quand la vérité dérange [Joan] J'ai remarqué que la vérité n'a pas tellement une place dans notre monde. Ça m'est arrivé, il n'y a pas longtemps, le 8 mars. C'est un peu triste, ce dont je vais parler. Et en même temps, j'ai l'impression qu'il faut en parler. Donc, on avait un culte là où on habite. J'ai fait bien attention, comme c'est un dimanche, à saluer toutes les femmes, même celles qui ne me connaissent pas, celles qui ne savent pas que je suis pasteure et que je suis la femme du nouveau pasteur. J'ai vraiment pris attention : « Bonjour, belle journée à vous! C'est notre journée. C'est la journée du 8 mars. » J'ai essayé de donner plusieurs versions de cette petite interpellation au sororal. Une dame que j'aime beaucoup, une dame avec une très belle vie de foi, un cœur grand comme ça m'a dit : « Bof! À quoi ça peut bien servir? Enfin, je ne sais pas moi. 8 mars, ouaf! » Puis je lui ai dit : « Mais si, ça sert! Ça sert parce qu'il y a tant et tant de femmes qui sont battues, parce qu'une femme sur cinq ceci, parce qu'un enfant sur quatre cela… » J'ai commencé à dérouler des chiffres. Autour d'elle, il y avait d'autres femmes et les visages sont devenus longs. J'ai vu qu'en fait, la vérité, ça ne plaît pas beaucoup. Et bon, je n'étais pas contente. Je dois dire qu'à la fin de mon exposé, je n'étais plus si en paix, alors qu'au début, j'étais assez joyeuse de souhaiter ce 8 mars. Quelques jours après, on s'est retrouvées et puis c'est vrai qu'on s'est un peu pris les mains. On s'est un peu présenté des excuses mutuellement. On s'est un peu dit que cette situation était gênante pour les deux. Voilà, on a retrouvé un chemin de sororité. Mais je me dis, la vérité de l'oppression, la vérité de la souffrance, la vérité des combats à mener, ça n'a pas toujours sa place. Une société fragmentée où la vérité ne rassemble plus [Stéphane] Nous vivons dans un monde très polarisé où chacun vit dans sa propre vérité. On se construit des discours, on se construit des argumentations, on se construit des façons de penser basées sur des chiffres plus ou moins vérifiés ou des statistiques qui font nos affaires et on oublie facilement les autres statistiques. On arrive dans une société où on ne parle plus de la même chose. On ne s'entend plus. On n'est plus capable de se parler. Et il y a un problème de ce côté-là, parce que sans vouloir que tous et toutes soient unis, au moins, si on peut utiliser les mêmes chiffres, les mêmes données, des arguments similaires, on peut se rejoindre. Entre opinion et savoir : peut-on encore parler d'une seule vérité ? [Yana-Malena] C'est vrai qu'il faut aussi remettre au cœur du débat ce qu'est la vérité en elle-même, parce que quand on dit qu'on vit un peu chacun dans notre vérité, ça nous fait nous demander si on a plusieurs vérités. Est-ce qu'on peut encore parler de vérité? En philosophie, Platon, il distingue la doxa, qui est l'opinion de l'épistémè, qui est le savoir vrai, et selon Platon, l'épistémè c'était quelque chose qu'on cultive et qui relève d'une étude et qui ensuite doit être transmis, au-delà de la doxa qui est l'opinion même. Donc là, on se demande si chacun vit dans sa vérité et si ce n'est pas ça qui polarise le monde finalement. Il s'agit de voir comment est-ce qu'on peut, dans notre monde d'aujourd'hui, remettre la vérité au cœur du débat et donc d'essayer de trouver un terrain d'entente. Moi, c'est ça qui m'émeut dans la vérité aujourd'hui. Est-ce qu'elle est encore possible quand on affirme tous qu'on a une vérité, alors qu'elle est forcément fausse par définition, puisqu'on sait qu'on a tous une vérité, il n'y en a pas? Entre convictions personnelles et vérités universelles [Joan] Moi, je me demande souvent comment distinguer la vérité de ma croyance. Parce que ma croyance, elle me nourrit, elle me porte. Et puis, ce sont des éléments véritables de la vie quotidienne, finalement. Moi, par exemple, ma vérité, c'est que j'ai besoin de faire du Pilates régulièrement, puis ça me fait du bien. Et puis, je n'arrête pas de dire à tout le monde, c'est super le Pilates, faites du Pilates. Ça, c'est ma croyance qui est devenue pour moi une vérité universelle. En même temps, il me semble quand même qu'en dehors de ma croyance, il y a des vérités qui sont un peu universelles. J'en prends une, elle est énorme, elle est massive : le dérèglement climatique. Et je me dis, comment ça se fait qu'on n'arrive pas à passer de la croyance à la vérité, de poser un peu nos convictions, de dire, OK, c'est vrai que mes convictions, peut-être, je crois au concept de la Terre nouvelle et des cieux nouveaux, mais ça ne m'empêche pas de réaliser que le dérèglement climatique cause du tort à des milliards d'humains. Donc voilà, c'est un peu cette différence-là qui, des fois, me questionne. Les faits existent, mais leur interprétation façonne la « vérité » [Stéphane] Ça me fait penser, quand je faisais mes études en théologie, il y a de ça quelques décennies, on avait eu une discussion justement sur qu'est-ce que LA vérité, avec un V majuscule, si je peux dire. J'arrivais d'une formation d'historien des années 1990 avec les théories de déconstruction narrative, l'absence de neutralité des sources, l'illusion de l'objectivité, etc. J'étais un peu cynique par rapport à cette conversation. Oui, il y a des données. Oui, il y a des faits. Mais c'est toujours organisé selon notre point de vue. L'exemple que je donne souvent, c'est que nous sommes ensemble. Nous voyons un accident de voiture. Comment chacun va raconter cet accident de voiture risque d'être d'une manière très différente pour des raisons culturelles, des raisons d'âge, des raisons de plein d'autres choses. Mais l'accident a eu lieu. C'est le même accident. Oui, il y a des faits. Oui, il y a des données. Mais comment ces faits, comment ces données sont organisées, c'est là qu'il faut faire attention avant de proclamer que c'est la vérité. Une vérité qui éclaire, sans dominer [Joan] C'est la raison pourquoi moi, le verset : « Je suis le chemin, la vérité et la vie » me parle à titre personnel. Vraiment, ça me nourrit. Mais ça me rend dingue lorsqu'il est utilisé pour avoir de l'emprise ou du pouvoir sur les autres. Pour moi c'est un peu comme si on avait une lampe torche hyper puissante et qu'on la braquait sur le visage des autres au lieu de s'en servir pour éclairer les lieux les plus sombres et éviter par exemple des drames : tomber ou être agressé quoi. En fait c'est un peu ça le « distinguo » que je ferais. Oui ce verset est beau. Il est porteur, mais selon comment je l'utilise, en fait il peut faire du mal. Entre autorité et dévoilement : les usages ambivalents de la vérité [Yana-Malena] C'est vrai que la vérité, elle peut être utilisée de plusieurs manières. Et puis, la vérité, à la base, quand on dit qu'on détient une vérité, c'est quelque part pour marquer son autorité et sa légitimité. Par exemple, quand on regarde les institutions aujourd'hui, on constate que ces institutions, elles se basent à l'origine sur le fait qu'elles détiennent une vérité que les autres n'ont pas et qu'elles permettent de garantir cette vérité. Par exemple, quand on parle de la justice, la justice estime qu'elle peut trancher dans des situations, lequel des deux points de vue est le véritable, lequel correspond aux véritables règles de la société, et en fonction des lois c'est elle qui la détient et qui a l'expertise de ces lois. Pareil pour la science, la science estime qu'elle détient la vérité parce qu'elle a les outils, elle a les moyens, elle a les experts. Et donc c'est vrai que dans ce verset : « Je suis le chemin et la vérité, » pourquoi est-ce qu'on utiliserait la vérité pour exercer du pouvoir sur les autres? Pourquoi est-ce qu'on s'en servirait pour marquer une autorité?  Alors que dans son origine grecque, la vérité c'est aletheia, donc dévoilement. Donc, quelque part, c'est plutôt une expérience qui ouvre les yeux, « le mythe de la caverne » de Platon, plutôt qu'une vérité qui assujettit. Je suis d'accord qu'aujourd'hui, quand on regarde l'état actuel du monde, la vérité est utilisée pour exercer une force sur les autres. C'est comme Trump, quand il déploie des fake news, qu'il invente des guerres entre des pays, ou bien qu'il dit encore que le Tylenol, ça crée de l'autisme. Quelque part, il essaie d'imposer son pouvoir. Il dit : « Je suis la vérité! C'est moi qui sais! Je suis le président des États-Unis! Je suis Jésus ». Je veux dire, là, on a une déclaration qui est vraiment fausse, elle est ouvertement fausse, et pourtant, elle est affirmée comme telle. Donc c'est vrai qu'aujourd'hui, l'utilisation de la vérité, elle est vraiment, vraiment complexe. Quand l'autorité s'approprie la vérité et en détourne le sens [Stéphane] C'est un très bon lien entre autorité et vérité. Je crois qu'on n'en parle pas assez, ou qu'on ne le souligne pas assez. Mon pasteur le dit, donc c'est vrai… ou tel leader politique… ou tel influenceur sur les médias sociaux… peu importe. Lorsque les paroles de figures d'autorité sont utilisées pour dominer les autres, là c'est vrai qu'il y a un problème. Jésus dit : « Je suis la vérité » et il y a des chrétiens qui utilisent ça pour dire que nous avons la vraie religion. Notre Église, c'est la vraie Église. Jésus n'a pas dit : « Mes disciples sont la vérité. Je suis la vérité. » Déjà en partant, il y a un écart que les gens s'approprient. Je me souviens que j'ai eu une discussion avec quelqu'un. J'avais fait une vidéo sur TikTok. La personne n'était pas d'accord. Moi je lui ai dit : « Écoute, moi je viens de l'Église Unie du Canada. Notre théologie est comme ça, blablabla… » Et lui, il me dit : « Moi je vais à tel endroit, puis on y enseigne la vérité, la vraie façon de lire la Bible. » Selon qui? Selon ton pasteur? Selon tes préférences personnelles? Il faut faire attention. Je peux vivre avec Jésus est la vérité, mais juste Jésus à la limite, pas moi qui essaie d'être son disciple et qui essaie de suivre son chemin. Je ne suis pas la vérité. Entre fake news et courage prophétique : dire une vérité qui dérange [Joan] Avant, tu as parlé des fake news, Yana-Malena, et c'est vrai qu'on nous demande parfois que faire avec les fake news quand on est pasteur. « J'ai lu ça, j'ai vu ça, qu'est-ce que vous en pensez? » Comme si on avait un petit surplus de lucidité, ou bien comme si on avait un regard, je ne sais pas, chrétien, ministériel sur le monde. Moi, en fait, je n'ai pas l'impression que la Bible m'aide spécialement à distinguer les fake news des vraies news. J'ai surtout l'impression que c'est le fait de soutenir des médias indépendants, des écoles de journalisme, de soutenir les journalistes d'Église autour de nous. Déjà, si on commençait par là, ce serait pas mal. Par exemple, j'ai une très bonne amie qui a quitté le milieu du journalisme pour retourner au pastorat. J'aime beaucoup discuter avec elle parce qu'avec son regard de journaliste, elle a plein d'autres portes d'entrée que moi. Donc c'est à ça que je pense quand je dis soutenir, rester en lien, avoir des contacts journalistiques. Et c'est vrai qu'on peut aussi se demander est-ce qu'en période de crise, (et est-ce qu'on est en période de crise?), est-ce que notre prédication est là pour établir une vérité factuelle? Est-ce que c'est quelque chose qui est attendu par nos communautés, par nos directions d'Église? Je pense tout de suite, et vous aussi j'imagine, à l'Église confessante de Bonhoeffer, le fait que Bonnefer avait vraiment soutenu tout ce mouvement-là, de dire il faut dire la vérité, il faut appeler le nazisme, le nazisme, il faut dire quand l'évangile est dévoyé. Est-ce que c'est à nous de le faire là maintenant? J'ai été très surprise hier. Il y avait les journées mondiales de jeunesse à Payerne, dans La Broye vaudoise en Suisse, et l'un des évêques suisses est venu, un francophone, et il a prêché contre la guerre. Tiens, tu aurais été content Stéphane! Il a vraiment suivi la ligne du pape Léon sur la démilitarisation, sur cesser cette espèce de bras de fer mondial, sur le fait que les populations s'ouvrent, sur le fait qu'en fait notre seul défenseur c'est le Christ et que quand on adopte ce défenseur on n'a pas besoin de la force physique, qu'on a la paix en nous qui nous vient du Christ. J'ai trouvé ça très courageux parce qu'il y avait quand même 200 jeunes, pas mal de responsables de la jeunesse, et puis c'était retransmis en direct sur Radio Maria. Donc j'ai trouvé que là, il y avait quelque chose de l'ordre du courage de dire une vérité, une vérité qui peut déranger. Ça rejoint en plus notre épisode sur le nationalisme chrétien, puisqu'il a osé dire dans sa prédication : « Être chrétien, ce n'est pas défendre le nationalisme chrétien. » C'est épatant! En plus, on avait les gardes suisses, on avait quand même des symboles d'autorité qui étaient là, qui représentaient les anciens mercenaires suisses qui sont la garde vaticane. Mais il a dit tout ça très tranquillement, très paisiblement, très ancré en lui-même. Alors voilà, est-ce qu'il a fait œuvre de vérité? Est-ce qu'il a répondu à cet appel de Dietrich Bonhoeffer et d'autres? À mon sens, oui, un peu. On dirait qu'en plus, il est soutenu par sa hiérarchie pour ça. Ça me laisse un peu rêveuse. * Photo de Allen Cai, unsplash.com. Utilisée avec permission. Fake news, foi et vérité : l'exigence d'une honnêteté intellectuelle [Yana-Malena] C'est vrai que moi, quand tu parlais des fake news et du rapport à la Bible, je me suis demandé si, quelque part, la Bible en elle-même, prise par ses lecteurs, ce ne serait pas en fait un ensemble de fake news. Je m'explique. On a beaucoup de lecteurs de la Bible et on a beaucoup de témoignages dans la Bible. Et la Bible, elle s'appelle la Bible et non pas aletheia ou la vérité. Donc la Bible, elle se veut elle-même réflexion. Elle se veut changeante et peut-être même qu'elle se veut quelque part fake news, dans le sens où elle va provoquer des réflexions chez les gens et quelque part, ça pourrait mener à des affirmations, et donc un ensemble de fake news. Par exemple, Stéphane, toi tu disais que sur Internet, des fois, tu avais des débats avec des gens. Ça m'arrive aussi sur Instagram où j'ai malheureusement un feed qui est beaucoup axé sur le rapport entre féminisme et religion, et notamment religion chrétienne. Il y avait cette jeune femme qui disait : « En fait, être féministe et chrétienne, c'est comme être un poulet qui soutient KFC. » Du coup, moi, j'ai lu ça. Je me suis énervée au plus profond de moi-même. Je pense que quelque part, j'ai failli taper un truc. Après, j'en ai parlé à ma psy et j'ai décidé de prendre parti. J'ai écrit un très, très long commentaire en disant, en fait, tu ne peux pas être féministe et dire aux chrétiens et chrétiennes qu'ils ont tort de croire en leur religion. Tu ne peux pas prôner la liberté de la femme et la liberté de l'oppression en étant toi-même une oppression. Après, j'ai eu aussi des féministes bizarres, des chrétiennes qui utilisaient la Bible comme quoi, tu n'es pas censée avoir un avis de toute manière et tout. Moi, j'ai halluciné. J'ai découvert qu'en fait, il y avait des chrétiennes qui créaient des fake news à partir de la Bible, comme quoi je n'avais pas le droit de donner mon avis ou des trucs comme ça, ou même des femmes qui disaient à la fin de la vidéo qu'elles n'avaient elles-mêmes pas le droit de donner leur avis. Et là, j'étais scotchée. Je me suis dit, c'est dangereux. Les gens qui prennent la Bible au pied de la lettre et les gens qui ne la prennent pas du tout.  J'ai trouvé que les deux extrêmes étaient d'une violence folle. C'est pour ça que là, le lien entre fake news et Bible, je me suis dit, les gens, en fait, ils se créent une fausse vérité outrageante et après, ils sont incapables de la questionner. C'est pour ça que moi, le rapport à la vérité aujourd'hui, j'avais envie de le remettre sur le critère de la compétence, sur le critère de l'honnêteté intellectuelle, en fait. Aujourd'hui, j'ai l'impression que ce qui va au-dessus de la vérité en elle-même, c'est le pouvoir et la fierté. Parce qu'aujourd'hui, on est dans un monde où, en fait, on n'a plus de fierté, on n'a plus confiance en nous parce qu'on est dans un monde qui nous aliène, en fait. On est dans un monde où on est complètement asservi aux réseaux sociaux, à Internet, aux gens, aux relations, aux critères sociaux, au patriarcat, parlons-en. Et en fait, on se repose sur ce qu'on peut. Je pense que la foi, il faut qu'elle revienne au cœur du débat. Comme Jésus l'avançait : « Je suis la vérité », c'est-à-dire, regarde ma vie et réfléchis. Jésus ne dit pas d'aller imposer des choses aux gens. Il dit en fait regarder ma vie et réfléchissez. C'est là que toute la Bible, toute la foi et toute la vérité prennent leur ampleur, c'est un dévoilement. Tu te mets de côté, tu mets ta fierté de côté et tu regardes en fait, c'est quoi ma compétence? Qu'est-ce que je sais? Qu'est-ce que les autres gens ont à apprendre? C'est juste être honnête, en fait. Je ne sais pas de quoi je parle. Je n'ai pas vécu dans une Église. Je n'ai pas vécu de violences patriarcales, je ne sais pas. Tu es juste honnête avec toi-même. Et moi, c'est vraiment ça pour moi, c'est l'honnêteté intellectuelle. L'humilité face aux limites de notre compréhension de la vérité [Stéphane] J'ajouterais peut-être un peu d'humilité. Parfois, on affirme : « Jésus a dit ceci, Jésus a dit cela. »  Je n'étais pas là. Je n'étais pas là il y a 2000 ans. Donc cette certitude se base sur quoi? Se base sur des faits rapportés? Ce sont les célèbres questions : comment Jésus a-t-il pu nourrir 5000 personnes avec cinq pains et deux poissons? Ma réponse, souvent, est : je ne le sais pas. Le récit que nous avons nous dit que… Moi je crois que… mais je ne peux pas vous l'affirmer hors de tout doute. Si on pousse la réflexion, est-ce que Jésus a vraiment existé? Selon les normes et les témoignages de l'époque, on croit que oui. Mais là, il y a toujours quelqu'un qui dit : « Ah! Tels historiens, ils exagèrent et embellissent la vérité. »   Ça, c'est mon côté de formation d'historien qui va parler. Mais la notion de vérité, il y a 2000 ans, n'était pas la même que celle d'aujourd'hui. Et fort probablement, 2000 ans dans le futur, ils risquent de nous regarder aujourd'hui, ils risquent de ricaner un peu. « Ah! ces gens du début des années 2000, ils étaient naïfs. Ils croyaient n'importe quoi. » Je pense qu'il y a aussi cette notion-là de dire que je ne sais pas tout. Nous ne pouvons pas tout savoir. Voici ce que nous comprenons. Voici les outils que nous utilisons. Essayons quand même de demeurer humbles, parce que lorsqu'on essaie de s'affirmer trop fort, lorsqu'on essaie de bomber le torse, lorsqu'on essaie d'établir une domination, comme vous l'avez dit, ça conduit toujours à de mauvaises places. Entre déni et inertie : quand la vérité cède au confort et aux habitudes [Joan] Je suis contente qu'on parle de cette notion d'honnêteté intellectuelle et puis toi, Stéphane, que tu parles de nous conduire à des mauvaises places lorsqu'on prend une certaine posture, parce qu'on découvre que « Les protocoles des sages de Sion » continuent à circuler. Ça, c'est quand même complètement délirant. Alors là, on va se dire que c'est vraiment immense, comme fake news, et ça dure depuis près d'un siècle. Mais quand on voit que la carte Mercator continue à être utilisée avec son Afrique minuscule, et qu'on nous l'a enseignée à l'école et que l'on continue à l'enseigner à nos enfants, on se dit, mais alors là, c'est un choix. Là, on est déjà dans des choix idéologiques, des choix politiques, des choix de politique internationale. Maintenant, on va arriver vers nos boutiques à nous, comme ça tout le monde en prend pour son grade, j'ai découvert dans un article que la dernière révision de la traduction œcuménique de la Bible, à 50 ans, Pardon? Ça veut dire que la même TOB avec laquelle mon mari et moi on a fait les études, c'est la même que celle avec laquelle notre fille aînée Marysol fait ses études? Non, mais on ne devrait même plus la vendre à ce stade. Il faut arrêter. 50 ans sans être révisé? Avec tout ce qui s'est passé en 50 ans en termes de réflexion sur le genre, les oppressions, le postcolonialisme, mais ce n'est pas possible. Maintenant on arrive vraiment à mon point touchy, le truc qui peut m'énerver matin, midi et soir sans problème, même quand je suis en train de faire un jacuzzi, c'est le fait qu'on ait un livret de cantique qui a déjà 20 ans. L'autre fois, je l'ai dit à quelqu'un qui me dit : « Oui, mais on ne connaît pas encore tous les cantiques du livret. » Je lui dis : « Bon, en même temps, il a 20 ans. » Il me dit : « Non! » Je lui dis « Mais si! c'est marqué dedans. » « Tu vois, pour moi, je n'aurais jamais cru. Oh! mais c'est fou. » « Ben ouais, c'est fou. » Ça fait 20 ans qu'on se farcit, justement, un livret de cantiques dont on chante peut-être 10% quand tout va bien. C'est incroyable! Pour moi, c'est tellement d'exemples de déni, de choix qui ne se justifient pas par la raison ou par une quelconque notion de vérité, de ce qui est bon, mais par le confort, une forme d'inaction. Ils disent : « Et puis on a pris l'habitude maintenant et de la TOB et du livret de cantiques et puis il faudrait s'organiser, trouver des gens pour le faire… » Mais bien sûr, mais il faut le faire en fait. Il y a des questions de justice sociale derrière. La quête de vérité à l'ère de la post-vérité et du doute [Yana-Malena] Aujourd'hui, la vérité, c'est quelque chose qui est en danger. La post-vérité, c'est tout un concept qui nous fait questionner la possibilité d'une vérité même à l'ère de l'IA, des réseaux sociaux, de la pluralité des points de vue. En fait, il faut aller au-delà de la paresse. Et il faut faire l'effort, comme on dit, humilité, honnêteté intellectuelle. En fait, il faut sortir du confort et faire l'effort de remettre en question ce qu'on sait et être dans une quête honnête de la vérité. C'est ça, je crois, un des enjeux en fait. Faire confiance à l'esprit critique pour dépasser la polarisation [Stéphane] Je crois qu'il faut faire confiance aux personnes. Souvent j'entends : « Ah! Les jeunes, ils se font prendre dans n'importe quelle théorie du complot. » Des théories du complot, il y en a toujours eu. Même, on le voit dans les évangiles, ils disent : « Ils vont voler le corps de Jésus et ils vont faire croire aux gens qu'il est ressuscité. » Déjà là, on est presque dans Dan Brown avec Da Vinci Code. Je regarde mon adolescent, par exemple. Il n'est pas plus idiot que nous. Il connaît les codes. Ce n'est pas parce qu'il n'utilise pas les mêmes outils de vérification que moi, que j'utilise depuis 50 ans, qu'il est plus naïf ou qu'il est plus stupide. Je pense qu'il y a une majorité de gens qui sont prêts à se poser des questions, qui sont prêts à fouiller, qui sont prêts à écouter. Il y aura toujours les gens qui ne veulent rien savoir, qui vont tomber dans les théories du complot. Je pense qu'il faut accorder de l'importance aux personnes qui sont censées et se sortir d'une espèce de logique de polarisation. Qu'est-ce qui va attirer les clics? Qu'est-ce qui va attirer les followers sur les médias sociaux? Qu'est-ce qui va créer le plus grand spectacle à la télévision? Il faut avoir foi en l'humanité, je crois. Conclusion [Joan] J'aime beaucoup cette notion de foi en l'humanité. On a eu un dialogue un peu intergénérationnel aujourd'hui avec Yana-Malena et c'était un plaisir.

How did we actually get the Bible? Was it cooked up in a smoke filled room by bishops in black robes, or is the Da Vinci Code right that Constantine and the Council of Nicaea just slapped it together? I'm answering that question head on today, and the real story is so much more powerful than the conspiracy theories give it credit for. We're talking about why Ecclesiastes made the cut and the Book of Enoch didn't, why the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Peter got left out (you have to hear what's actually in those, it's wild), and what the church's real role was in recognizing Scripture versus creating it. The Bible has survived emperors, skeptics, and a few too many cable specials trying to pair Jesus up with Mary Magdalene. It's still standing, and it always will.

Who decided which books belong in the Bible — and why did Enoch, Thomas, and Peter get left out? It wasn’t The Da Vinci Code version. It wasn’t Constantine at Nicaea. And it wasn’t some random power grab. The real story of the biblical canon is far more fascinating.

Send us Fan MailSeason 17 of TGTPTU calls a wrap on its third of four directors in its 4x4 this week with Ron Howard's THE DA VINCI CODE (2006).   Starring Tom Hanks, father of musician and male model Chet Hanks but also known for leading roles in such earlier Howard films not covered on this podcast as Splash (1984) and Apollo 13 (1995), with a grotesque haircut as supersleuth symbiologist Robert Langdon from Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling page-turner of the same name, the movie is a bunch of nonsense that got some Catholics upset for suggesting Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the disputed son of a disputed desert deity, had children, likely through consensual intercourse unlike the legend of his siring. Howard's The Da Vinci Code also has great French actors used poorly in this flick mostly set in France and at least one Jellicle cat, one Sony Spiderman villain, and one Avenger (MCU, not BBC) actor of British lineage to help out the American Langdon in his quest for an ultimate truth that could rock the world to its core assuming it's not flat (see Revelation 7:1 and Isaiah 11:12, ya heathens).   Holy host Ryan goes above and beyond in his research for this ep; the son Jack passes the season's assignment; the father Ken is unimpressed by the chase scenes; and Doubting Thomas in real time processes that the female lead is the same actress as the titular Amélie (2001).  If you like anagrams and unstimulating action sequences, this might be the movie for you.    Skcus eivom siht.   P.S.

A Note from James:Have you ever read The Da Vinci Code?That book was definitely a page-turner. Before I read it, I had never really heard of Opus Dei. And after today's conversation with Gareth Gore, you might wish you had never heard of Opus Dei either.In The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei is a mysterious organization tied to the Catholic Church, secret history, and global power. But today's guest, Gareth Gore, started investigating Opus Dei from a completely different angle. He was looking into the 2017 collapse of a major Spanish bank. He found something much bigger: a secretive organization with connections to global finance, politics, elite schools, the FBI, and even the highest levels of power in Washington, D.C.His book is Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church. And what he found is disturbing. Officially, Opus Dei promotes holiness in everyday life. And honestly, I like parts of that idea. But Gareth argues that behind the public message is a high-control organization built on secrecy, manipulation, financial opacity, and alleged abuse.We talk about how Opus Dei recruits from both the ultra-wealthy and the desperately poor, the strange ownership structures tied to hundreds of millions of dollars, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, alleged influence in Washington, and Gareth's recent private meeting with Pope Leo, where he says he gave the Pope a dossier calling for serious action.This is an eye-opening story. Here's Gareth Gore.Episode Description:James talks with investigative journalist Gareth Gore about Opus Dei, the secretive Catholic organization at the center of Gareth's book Opus. What started as Gareth's investigation into the collapse of Banco Popular in Spain led him into a much larger story about money, power, religious authority, alleged exploitation, and the ways an institution can hide behind noble language while pursuing a much harder political and financial agenda.Gareth explains that Opus Dei officially presents itself as a Catholic movement dedicated to helping ordinary people find holiness through daily work. But his argument is that the public message conceals a high-control system built around recruitment, secrecy, spiritual pressure, and influence inside elite institutions. He describes Opus Dei as both an official part of the Catholic Church and, in his view, an abusive cult. Opus Dei strongly disputes Gareth's book, calling it a false picture based on distorted facts and conspiracy theories.The conversation moves from Opus Dei's founding in Spain in 1928 to its special status as a personal prelature, its alleged links to Banco Popular, its recruitment practices, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, elite schools, Washington power networks, and Gareth's recent meeting with Pope Leo. The episode is useful because it does not treat Opus Dei as just a conspiracy theory symbol from The Da Vinci Code. It asks a more direct question: what happens when a religious organization accumulates money, secrecy, political influence, and moral authority at the same time?What You'll Learn:What Opus Dei officially is, and why its status as a personal prelature matters.How Gareth Gore went from investigating a Spanish bank collapse to writing a book about Opus Dei.Why Gareth argues that Opus Dei's public message differs sharply from its internal practices.How Banco Popular allegedly became a financial engine for Opus Dei-linked projects.Why Gareth compares aspects of Opus Dei to a high-control cult.What Gareth says happened in the Robert Hanssen spy scandal.Why the alleged recruitment of minors and underprivileged girls has become one of the most serious issues around the organization.What Gareth told Pope Leo in their private meeting.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Gareth Gore on Opus Dei as an alleged abusive cult[02:41] Opus Dei as a “rising militia”[03:54] A Note from James: from The Da Vinci Code to Gareth's investigation[05:54] Gareth joins the show[06:00] How James first heard of Opus Dei[06:37] Gareth's background as a financial journalist[07:11] What is Opus Dei?[07:45] Opus Dei's status as a personal prelature[08:40] Why that structure gives Opus Dei unusual freedom[09:15] Gareth's argument: official Catholic structure, unofficial high-control group[10:03] The positive public message of “holiness in everyday life”[10:43] Josemaría Escrivá and Opus Dei's founding[12:00] When Gareth thinks the movement turned political[13:30] Spain on the edge of civil war[14:14] Escrivá's followers as a “secret army”[15:19] Why Opus Dei recruits from elites[16:00] Why Opus Dei also recruits from the poor[17:09] Underprivileged girls and alleged domestic servitude[17:37] How recruitment works by invitation[19:15] Lifelong study, confession, and spiritual guidance[19:54] Opus Dei's modern agenda[20:46] Sex, family values, and political identity[22:05] Why Dan Brown chose Opus Dei for The Da Vinci Code[24:01] Banco Popular and the financial trail[25:54] The mysterious shareholder structure[26:34] Shell companies and alleged financial flows[27:15] Why not publicly identify Opus Dei as a major shareholder?[28:27] Arm's-length foundations and deniability[29:52] Are there good people inside Opus Dei?[30:32] The founder's rules and internal control[32:51] What happens when people leave[33:52] Robert Hanssen and Opus Dei[35:00] Hanssen's wife, confession, and the Opus Dei priest[36:24] Gareth's theory of institutional self-protection[40:03] How the bank collapse connects back to Opus Dei[41:00] Why Gareth thinks ownership structure delayed reform[42:43] Gareth's private meeting with Pope Leo[44:26] The dossier Gareth gave the Pope[45:08] Why Gareth says the meeting went better than expected[46:15] Allegations involving minors and grooming[47:00] Opus Dei schools and elite recruitment[48:20] After-school clubs and hidden recruitment claims[49:16] Can the good message be separated from the organization?[50:44] Why Gareth thinks the founder's rules are the central problem[51:51] The problem of Escrivá's sainthood[53:00] Could the canonization process be reopened?[54:00] Opus Dei, Silicon Valley, and cult-like power structures[56:41] Peter Thiel, Stanford, and Opus Dei overlap[57:29] Closing thoughts on OpusAdditional Resources:Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church by Gareth Gore.

For our ONE HUNDREDTH episode we're looking at The Da Vinci Code, the 2006 mystery thriller starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou and that realest of Gs, Ian McKellen, based on the controversial novel by Dan 'Don't fact check me, just love me' Brown. We'll be looking at the Council of Nicea, Emperor Constantine, and where did the idea of Jesus being married come from? We're joined by critic, author and perennial bad penny, Andy Godfrey to tell us about the film's production.    Finding the Faith in the Film begins at 21:21

This week on End Credits we're going to work it. No one would accuse this podcast of being fashionable, but with this episode we head work our way back to style in addition to our usual substance by reviewing The Devil Wears Prada 2, which is now in a theatre near you. And since we're going back, let us also go back in time to the Summer of 2006 for another draft! This Wednesday, May 20, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Movies of 2006 Draft. Twenty years ago from this summer, we watched as the Pirates of the Caribbean fought for a dead man's chest. Tom Hanks raced around Paris search for the Da Vinci Code. The X-Men took their last stand (not really). Superman returned, and so did the clerks. The house was a monster, the ex-girlfriend was super and the Devil wore Prada. These are among the movies we might draft as we go back to the Summer of 2006! REVIEW: The Devil Wear Prada 2 (2026). Based loosely on legendary (infamous) Vogue editor Anna Wintour, the original The Devil Wears Prada followed an aspiring journalist played by Anne Hathaway going to work for a demanding magazine editor played by Meryl Streep. Now, 20 years later, Hathaway and Streep, plus co-stars Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt, all return for an encore as Streep's Miranda needs Hathaway's Andy to rescue her reputation, and her magazine, in the midst of PR crisis, but is The Devil still as delicious with the second bite? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, we ask an important question: if the self checkout says “CARD ONLY” in letters large enough to be seen from space… why are people still standing in the human cashier lane paying with Apple Pay like they just cracked the Da Vinci Code?Meanwhile, the universe itself is apparently hanging on by a thread after Stuart from The Big Bang Theory gets access to multiverse technology. Because of course the fate of existence would somehow end up in the hands of the man who could barely keep a comic book store open during normal reality.And in today's Honorable Mention, we dive into the bizarre habits of the ultra-wealthy — including stories so out-of-touch they make regular people sound like survival experts. Nothing humbles you faster than learning there are millionaires who apparently don't know how to use a washing machine, pump gas, or locate a grocery store without a staff meeting.It's confusion at the checkout line, confusion across dimensions, and confusion from people with entirely too much money — which honestly feels like the perfect summary of modern society.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, commuters in New York City's suburbs had to navigate a gauntlet of car, bus and subway routes to get to and from work, with a labor strike shutting down the Long Island Rail Road, the busiest commuter rail system in the country. Meanwhile, Die-hard Knicks fans on Long Island who were psyched up for the hometown hoopsters in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals this week are being forced to stay home or shell out big bucks — thanks to the Long Island Rail Road strike that has grounded thousands.A gun and notebook that prosecutors say link Luigi Mangione to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson can be used as evidence at his murder trial, a judge ruled, rejecting a defense argument that they were seized illegally.And out in the American West, two teenage shooters opened fire at a San Diego mosque and killed three men before killing themselves a few blocks away, police said. The attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego is being investigated as a hate crime, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said at a news conference at a neighborhood park across from the mosque.

Let's take a deep dive into the Paris Rose Line. This is an updated re-release of the time I did another A to Z season, where A was for Arago, the name of the scientist who helped map out the Paris meridian line (François Arago (1786-1853)).  In this episode, I explored the "Rose Line" (as it was called in the Da Vinci Code), sought out the bronze medallions along the streets of Paris, through the Louvre, and into the Paris Observatory.  Featured is the voice of Nicolas Lesté-Lasserre, a science historian and the community manager of the Observatoire de Paris. He showed me around this incredible 17th century institution, which is usually closed to the public.  Find more, including beautiful pictures of the observatory, on The Earful Tower's website.  The episode in this music is from Pres Maxson, featuring an original song called Le Meridien de Paris.  This episode brought to you by The Earful Tower Tours.

Is Angels & Demons still the perfect thriller… or does it fall apart due to a major original sin?In this full spoiler review, we break down Angels & Demons by Dan Brown—from the nonstop pacing and shocking twists to the real-world science, Vatican politics, and the Illuminati conspiracy at the heart of the story.We follow Robert Langdon through Rome as the clock ticks down, analyzing what the book gets right, what stretches credibility, and whether it still holds up as one of the most iconic thrillers ever written.Is this Dan Brown's best book? Does it top The Da Vinci Code? And does the ending actually stick the landing?—

Helllo friends! Welcome to the EIChapel! This week we're making a vow to you all to cover interesting stories, dive deep into the discourse and share yet another bouquet of excellent recommendations.First up we're discussing a pretty grim story out of Manchester, after a school librarian revealed she had been asked to remove a host of book titles from her shelves. These books included Heartstopper, The Da Vinci Code, 1984, We Should All Be Feminists and Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates. We discuss the importance of reading beyond your age group and why we think these decisions fail children rather than protect them.Secondly we're untangling some thorny feminist internet discourse, after one Gen Z account accused millennial feminism of being sex-obsessed, shallow and misguided. They wrote "Gen Z is kinda clocking millennial/Gen X feminists tea. Y'all said/say men are trash but then advocate for having casual sex with many of them and partaking in kinks that may be harmful. It never made sense." We unpack this idea and interrogate the feminist messaging that we grew up with and whether our attitudes to sex really have been harmful to younger generations.And finally- Kristoffer Borgli's new Zendaya/R-Pattz fronted film The Drama. If you've not heard about it, then congratulations on being born literally this morning. To catch you up: what starts as a gorgeous meet-cute becomes something else after Emma (Zendaya) shares the worst thing she's ever done during a pre-wedding dinner with her maid of honour (Alana Haim), her husband (Mamoudou Athie), and Charlie (Edward Cullen Robert Pattinson).

Book corner is back on It Happened One Year! The best selling adult book from the year 2000 (discounting that fourth Harry Potter) has proved to be Angels & Demons, the precursor to the cultural phenomenon that was The Da Vinci Code in the early years of the century. But...why? How did these novels catch on? And just how popular were they really? And you're telling me Dan Brown has kept writing books, but fewer and fewer people seem aware they exist? Sarah and Joe attempt to dig into 21st century popular literature and the confounding tastes of modern readers, while also taking time to discuss the movie series, the TV adaptations, an odd amount of Harry Potter, and the first American Pope!

Check out this awesome show from March 7, 2025 (2:40) Bible Study: Isaiah 58:1-9a – While it may seem like a condemnation of fasting, this is not so as Jesus himself fasted. Taking up your cross and denying yourself means saying no to yourself. Freedom is the ability to do the right thing and that is the point of fasting, to be free and exercise freedom. Matthew 9:14-15 – If your fasting makes you quarrelsome and difficult don’t bother with it. If your fasting gives you the freedom to be charitable that is good. Jesus talks about being the Bridegroom. (16:08) Break 1 (16:53) Letters: Were there actually angels who had relations with humans? The word “Nephilim” means “fallen ones”. Daryl - I was wondering about the DaVinci Code and wanted to know if Mary Magdalene the wife of Jesus? There is no history in the DaVinci Code. Did Judas conspire with Jesus to have him crucified? No, that is nonsense. Be careful what you name your kids and don’t name your kids “Judas”. (32:25) Break 2 (33:29) Word of the Day: Sacrament (39:34) Phones: Ed - How many times a day could I receive the Eucharist? Gerard - About the Eucharist, in the Passion 2000 years ago, basically Jesus surrendered himself. Does Jesus do the same thing at Mass. Could you clarify? Jane - In the Jubilee Year, what is the deal with indulgence? can you obtain one for yourself and another? Nancy - Organizing a confirmation retreat, any advice on how to explain the sacrament to teens?

Michael Feeley is a former UK police officer, lifelong experiencer, and author who now explores esoteric knowledge and the deeper questions surrounding reality, consciousness, and the purpose of the universe. His discussions venture into the balance of dark and light forces, the true nature of time, and unconventional interpretations of ancient structures such as the Great Pyramid—often described by him as an advanced antenna or energetic transmitter. Drawing from personal experiences and metaphysical study, Michael presents perspectives that challenge traditional narratives and invite audiences to think beyond accepted boundaries.Central to his story are profound spiritual and philosophical themes, including past-life connections, Hermetic teachings, and symbolic interpretations of Renaissance art and sacred geometry. Michael speaks about receiving complex insights and “quantum-style” concepts through meditative and intuitive practices, offering viewers a journey that blends mysticism, history, and personal revelation. His work encourages open-minded exploration, critical thinking, and deep reflection on reality itself—presenting ideas that are provocative, unconventional, and designed to spark conversation about what we truly know versus what may still be undiscovered.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

This week Sam takes on another adventure quest with the 2025 movie Fountain of Youth. Join Luke (John Krasinski) as he gallivants around town stealing art with zero repercussions. After his latest art theft, he goes to London to ruin his sister Charlotte's (Natalie Portman) life by stealing from the museum she curates and getting her fired. You'd think John Krasinski could pull off making that charming, but you'd be wrong. None of that matters because now that she's been fired, Charlotte can join in on his latest scheme! What scheme is that? Why, it's leading a billionaire-backed expedition to locate the the Fountain of Youth (which neither fountains nor youths, but that's for another time) to cure the benefactor's liver cancer. Why you ask? Fame and glory. Definitely not to follow in their father's Indiana Jones footsteps regardless of what the movie tells you. This, of course, requires stealing a bunch of Renaissance art because six artists hid clues in their paintings for some unfathomable reason, though not really in their paintings, more just kinda on them. This leads our heroes to some of the lamest puzzle solving this side of The DaVinci Code which Sam complains about. A lot. This has made them a target for Interpol and Charlotte has dragged her eleven-year-old son on the lamb with her in a bid to become the world's worst mother. There's also some psychic protector of the Fountain hot on their trail, though she proves remarkably inept. None of this can prepare our hosts for the end of this movie which is so incomprehensible it completely breaks their brains. This is in no way aided by a brief exposition cameo by Stanley Tucci, and in fact only muddies things further. So join us on a rip-roaring adventure that leaves Sam begging Danielle to watch the movie herself to see if she can figure it out. We're sure it makes sense to someone, just not us.

Many people only know the version of the non-canonical gospels popularised by Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. The Church did away these 'lost' texts, and their recovery promises to reveal a more primitive version of Jesus that Orthodoxy suppressed. But how much truth is there to this narrative? What really are the non-canonical gospels? In this episode, Helen and Lloyd are joined by Simon Gathercole to uncover the true story of the non-canonical or 'apocryphal' gospels. Simon J. Gathercole is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Fitzwilliam College. He is a world leading authority on the non-canonical gospels, and is the author of The Gospel of Judas (2007), The Gospel of Thomas (OUP, 2007), The Gospel of Thomas: Introduction and Commentary (Brill, 2014) and The Apocryphal Gospels (Penguin, 2021). SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

First up on the podcast, scholars are on a quest to find Leonardo da Vinci's DNA. With no direct descendants, the hunt involves sampling the famous polymath's papers, paintings, and distant cousins. Contributing Correspondent Richard Stone talks with host Sarah Crespi about what researchers hope to learn from Leonardo's genes and the new field of “arteomics.” Next on the show, new evidence for poisoned arrows from 60,000 years ago complicates our picture of hunting during the Pleistocene. Sven Isaksson, a professor of archaeological science at Stockholm University, joins the podcast to discuss the discovery of poisonous residues on microliths—the tiny, worked stone points used on arrows and spearheads. These findings could push back the origins of this toxic technology by 50,000 years. This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.

Wissenschaftler haben in Abstrichen von einer Kreidezeichnung, die Leonardo da Vinci zugeschrieben wird, menschliche DNA gefunden – darunter ein Y-Chromosom.

From the “Gospel of Thomas” to books like The Da Vinci Code—it seems like the Scriptures are under attack! But there are solid answers to the questions about the Bible’s reliability. Pastor Mike Fabarez tackles these questions head-on and clarifies the confusion over alleged contradictions and misinterpretations.

The Rise to Power (Revised Edition) (The Legacy Series, 1) by David Francis Cook https://www.amazon.com/stores/David-Francis-Cook/author/B0C7XFH46F Get ready for the heart-pounding thrills of The Legacy Series – a captivating adventure that combines the best of The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure. Follow James Bannerman throughout history as he seeks to answer those driving questions: “Why are we here?” and “What is our purpose?” If a family can respect its heritage and forefathers, any member can rise to greatness. But the evils of human nature and temptations of life must first be overcome. In The Rise to Power, the first book in The Legacy Series, Cartius, who lives in the previous age of Atlantis, faces a dire choice. He can go with his father to a different star system and continue his way of life at an even higher level of dimension—or he can choose to die, reincarnate, and save his planet. James Bannerman, Tenth Earl of Penbroke, England, is Cartius. Before his death, Cartius makes the fateful decision to remain on Earth. He also leaves his teleportation chair to a faithful servant, and the chair makes its way, under lock and key, to its place as a regal throne in the East Wing of Bannerman's estate. The decisions Bannerman must face—in a world intertwined with marriage, love affairs, human intrigue, and deception—will define his future. And that of many. A family can become a small nation, then a large nation, and then a great nation with a great legacy. But first it must uncover its true spiritual knowledge. James Bannerman will find the key to that lies in the throne. Along with determining their legacy, Bannerman and his family—whose roots go back to 1704—will also unlock the question man has wrestled with since his earliest beginnings: Why are we here?

Hello my friends across the interwebs. After an extended hiatus, here I am with a new blues installment just in time for the holidays. The next few days I will be smoking cigars, watching an assortment of fantastic DVDs that I bought recently, cramming sweet treats into my yap and thoroughly enjoying myself just as an abandoned middle aged man should do. This desolate path of solitude does have it's perks. For instance, I just turned the volume all the way up and blasted Future at midnight because I wanted to jump around with the dog for a bit. This week alone I've watched The Outlaw Josey Wales, Home Alone, The Bourne Identity, The Da Vinci Code and Scarface on Blu-Ray. Multiple football games and the UNC Basketball game as well. Being alone on Christmas does in a way feel like Tyson Fury just socked me right in the kisser. BUT I do get to watch football with the dog, scratch my toes and listen to Black Sabbath records so it's FINE. I did get a super sick tapestry for Christmas too so I'm on fire over here. Keisha I hope you get to rip into something super duper sick tomorrow. I might get myself another Christmas present or two. Insider baseball, I saw some wicked hot Lennie Rosenbluth autographed stuff on eBay. 1957 NCAA Player of the Year that was guarding Wilt Chamberlain in the championship game, no big deal. Met him a few years back and he couldn't have been nicer to me. Him and his wife. He sadly passed last year and I need a piece of Lennie history in this podcast room. Since I'm slowing down on the recording rate I will be upgrading the sound system in here for super wicked hot personal listening seshes. Why am I giving you an ear beating about Lennie Rosenbluth on Christmas Eve? I hope you enjoyed My Blue Christmas. If you want a more up-beat Christmas pod check out last year's Home Alone house music Christmas episode. Have a great Holiday break, everybody. Thank you for being hereYour Fav Disc Jockey,Old Saint Sickolas 

Dan Brown is the bestselling author of the Robert Langdon thriller series, including The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, and Origin. His novels have sold 250 million copies worldwide. Brown's work has defined a modern genre of high-concept, research-driven thrillers that fuse art, history, religion, and science, and several of his books have been adapted into major feature films. His latest book, The Secret of Secrets, released in September 2025, returns to the Robert Langdon character in a new contemporary thriller.

Cale goes to the mailbag to tackle a question about the gospels and why there are only four in the bible. What does the Da Vinci Code say about the gospels? Could there really be 80 different gospels? Cale explains how the Da Vinci Code is fictional, and it feeds the idea of wanting a loophole from the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Gareth Gore | Unveiling The Conspiracy Of Opus Dei (his first appearance)Gareth Gore - Opus (Amazon)Subscribe To The Curious Worldview Substack---This is Gareth's second appearance on the podcast. It is the political fallout from everything covered in our first episode where he told the story for how he serendipitously uncovered Opus Dei's hidden power and financial manipulation while investigating the ruins of the Spanish bank, Banco Popular. It began as a routine story but evolved into the discovery of a global network of manipulation, coercive recruitment, psychological abuse, and enormous financial flows routed through myriad opaque foundations. Gareth spoke about how Opus Dei maintains a polished, benign public image, but secretly operates an inner core of numeraries—members bound by vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty—who are tightly controlled, isolated, and monitored.It's systematic practices include corporal mortification, constant surveillance, abuse, both emotional and physical and the exploitation of vulnerable young women tantamount to human trafficking. Opus Dei used Banco Popular as a piggy bank for decades, funnelling money through shell foundations and offshore channels to fund their impressive global expansion.This is a Direct quote from Gareth's first appearance… “This is an organisation that seeks to re-Christianize of the entire world… Opus Dei is informed by a warped, distorted, conservative, radical reading of the Bible. It embeds itself in key institutions, especially in the United States. and Despite its Vatican legitimacy, Opus Dei uses secrecy and corporate structures to evade accountability.

And is Felicity Jones (Rogue One) any help stopping a madman obsessed with Dante, or aiding the symbologist as he tries to top The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons? Join Brock, Justin, and Arnie to find out if this 2016 thriller should burn in the seventh level of Hell. Listen Now!
