Yes, but have you heard them from any reputable scholar who knows what he or she is talking about, or just from conspiracy theorists who have read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and spend way to much time sharing those theories on the 'net?
For someone who spent that much time researching the Vatican, he sure screwed up in a number of places where he lays blame on "the Vatican" for events that happened before "the Vatican" existed as such or while the popes resided in Avignon, not Rome.
Like I said, it's a
great read, but the theories that underlie it are indeed, for the most part, crack.
