The small church of Rennes-le-ChÒateau, in a remote village in southern France, may well hold the key to the proof of Mary Magdalene’s marriage to Jesus and the bloodline they founded. In 1885 the village of Rennes-le-ChÒateau welcomed a new priest, Abbe Saunißere, for its church dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. Abbe Saunißere ordered very strange restoration work for the church, and it is thought that he discovered something during this renovation that brought him to the attention of the power brokers of that time and made him a very rich man. Possible identifications of his discovery range from the gold pillaged from Delphi in Roman times; the treasure brought out of Jerusalem by the Templars, who had a strong presence in this area; and the missing Cathar treasure, spirited out of MontsÔegur mere days before the fall of that fortress.
