From: "Frank McGovern" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is Count Guelfi's reply to me regarding the Shroud: Dear FXM, <G>I would be happy to answer your questions. <G>Now, whether there is a bloodline or not - there is a biological handprint on the cloth - <F>If there is a Grail family could it have been the Savoys? They did alright for themselves over the years. <G>The Savoy family is of the Bloodline, and hence, of the Grail, though their claim is not as strong as others. <F>When lady deCharny died it was passed on to someone who was distantly related to her - not her son(he was a wastrel as I have read). She wanted to give it to someone who would care for it, and maybe for more of a reason than that? <F> The Shroud is the vessel of the Holy Blood it is the Grail. <G> No. Though they truly believed that the shroud is that of Jesus. Hence, their reason for keeping it. It is not his, because a shroud was never placed over him at that young age. The man whose image is on the shroud is not Jesus. <G>As a small discourse, I will explain a few details about the Grail. As a symbol, it represents many esoteric things. It also exists as a physical object. The relic, though not presently in use, but being kept, has been said to have been used by the Gods of old to prolong life. This is done through the transmutation of some type of fluid by the relic, which the Gods then drank. It renewed them in some way. Of course, this is all just a rumor. The relic does exist though. The age old legend has been that the power of the Gods was in the blood or in modern ideas, DNA. <G>Their blood allowed them to live almost indefinitely, as well as to tap into the Universal Matrix. When Kingship was established on the Earth, with the Gods' approval, the King was conceived half man half god. The great men of old, the men of renown, the God Kings. The abilities of the Gods passed through their bloodline in their offspring. The blood was the human link to the Gods, and hence the importance of the Kings, and their need to be protected. The King's bloodline was the people's only link to the Gods, once they left. These teaching have been forgotten by most of today's monarchies, though they are of The Bloodline. The Bloodline of the Grail was renewed in it's resolve with the Hebrew nation, through the Holy Mother, and then through the Francs. Because the true Grail was used by the Gods to renew their lives, and their blood, the Kingly Bloodline came to be synonymous with the symbolism of the Grail. The Bloodline and the Grail are one in a symbolic way. <G> P1, P2, and their branch organizations are protectors of the Grail, the Holy Bloodline, and mankind's history, as well as agencies for the furtherance of our(the Bloodline's) goals. P2 has the added charge of preserving the Faith. I hope this answers some of your questions. Regards, Ct. Roman A.U.
