Warning: A lot of journalists have put out a lot of books on this and related subjects. They pick and choose bits of data to suit their theories. They’re not academics, who would lose tenure for putting out cr*ppy theories.

See the ‘paranormal’ section of your nearest bookstore.
 
The people on the link I was given are really fascinating one is an MD and the other a priest …I haven’t listened to anyone else yet

They are not journalists…the priest has no book to sell…the Dr has…The church makes no claims about these relics being true or authentic

I would rather read this kind of thing than the gossips and filth out in the market place

According to a site I read this wouldn’t have been an everyday chalice…It would have just been used for passover

I was surprised when the museum guy said glass, but he said silver wouldn’t have been used, because it could have been minted from old coins with the images of gods on them, and this would have been unclean…

I think popular culture may be closer assuming it is in cup form. The end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It was the unassuming cup made of wood, a cup of a carpenter, not a shiny, gold plated cup.

There are other works and theories out there that do not make it a cup at all.
 
For passover wood couldn’t have been the material used according to what I have read…It couldn’t be made clean enough because it was so porous…the Seder Cup was special, not used for everyday, from what I have read, has said
 
I"m pretty sure that the Holy Grail exists at a monastery in Spain. I was told that Popes travel there [including Pope JP II and Pope Benedict] expressly to use this chalice, believing that it is the Holy Grail.

Apparently there is a rich historical trail that pretty much proves that this is the Grail, just like the trail of documented history for Veronica’s Veil and the Shroud of Turin.

This is what makes all these stories about searching for the Holy Grail so goofy - its all bogus because the Church, although we don’t openly advertise it, has known all along where this wonderful cup is!

Tina, the author of the book I mentioned above places it in the Cathedral in Valencia.
 
The Holy Grail is the Catholic Church, think about it, The Church holds the Blood of Christ! What other institution carries His Blood and Body but the Catholic Church? Catholic priests are given the power of transubutation which means that the wine transforms into the actual Blood of Jesus Christ in the Church at Mass. This is why the Church was referred to as "Mother’. The grapes that make wine come from a ‘vine’, Christ’s Blood is ‘Di-Vine’! The Vine! 🙂 🙂

Hey Frances, Thanks. I wonder why the Popes travel to this monastery in Spain to use the Cup there? Didn’t I also see Pope Benedict pictured using this cup on this trip he made soon after he became Pope? I remember pictures of the Spanish monastery as well. It looked like a pretty remote place in a desert-like setting.

I dunno. Maybe I’m confused.

It appears that the Grail does exist, making all the “searching fors” a bunch a hooey. Exactly where, i dunno.

I’m wondering too if because of the all the urban legends about this Grail, that the Church doesn’t spend a lot of time advertising the actual place the Grail is kept.

My recollection isn’t super-important - clearly the Mass itself is the more important thing! :yup:

Frances, doh, you meant Valencia Spain right?

Right, Tina. 😃 And, yes, the Cup held there is, I believe, the one used by the Holy Father during his visit there last year. The book I recommended addresses the search for the Grail legends.

The joke was that Sean Connery, who is best known for being James Bond, was playing the part of Professor Jones in that movie. 😉

Ah, i see… I’ve never been a huge Bond fan. Obviously Jones is a thousand times cooler! 😉

Anyway, sorry i didn’t make the connection. I was blinded by my pro-Indy rage.
