The <a href="http://www.geocities.com/davidjayjordan/Marymagdalene.html">Mary-as-whore </a> idea was debunked some time ago, but is it possible that she was made into a whore by the church to explain her intimacy with Jesus? The novel <i>The da Vinci Code</i>, on which this ABC program was based, explores the relationship between da Vinci and a <a href="http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/111_leo2.shtml">secret society protecting the blood line of Christ</a>, who according to some theories fathered children with his wife, Mary Magdalene. If you look at the <a href="http://www.lisashea.com/hobbies/art/lastsupper.html">Last Supper</a>, the figure to the right of Jesus is so clearly a woman, and it is possible that the Holy Grail that gathered the blood of Christ is a metaphor for Magdalene's womb carrying Jesus' children.
