The Rosslyn Connection
Jul. 10th, 2006 09:56 amAs I mentioned the other day, The DaVinci Code is based on the premise (among others perhaps more controversial) that the last of the Clan Sinclair was wiped out in a car crash (engineered, it is hinted, by a secret group in the Vatican) except for a little girl, who was raised under another name by the Priory of Sion and grew up to be a French cop.
Except that the Sinclairs are very much with us, as I said, and this came home to me today in a email reporting a story in the Scotsman, in which the Venerable Margaret Sinclair (1900-1925), a factory worker who became a nun and died young of consumption, may be one miracle closer to canonization. Her exact relationship to the more prominent branches of the family is obscure.
Not to mention Harry Sinclair of Sinclair Oil, or Earl Sinclair of Dinosaurs ("Not the mommy, not the mommy!"), the latter a special hero of mine.
