Mormon connection to Masons explored ahead of 'Da Vinci Code' sequel

Osa pitkästä artikkelista:
For his part, Nicholas S. Literski, an active Mormon and Mason living in Nauvoo, thinks Latter-day Saints misunderstand the similarities. But they are significant.
"Everybody wants to obsess over supposed similarities in ritual," he says. "But that's just one aspect. Everything about Joseph and his family was tied into Masonic legends."
The Mormon connection: Smith's father, Joseph Smith Sr. joined a Masonic lodge when the family moved to Palmyra, N.Y., in 1816. Later, Smith's brother Hyrum also joined. From them, Smith heard the story of a lost sacred word that was engraved upon a triangular plate of pure gold. The word was the name of God.
It makes sense that he would go searching for such treasure in the large American Indian burial mounds near his home, says Literski, author of the forthcoming book, Method Infinite: Freemasonry and the Mormon Restoration.
And when Smith reported finding an ancient record written on plates of gold, he used "distinctively Masonic language to describe the experience," Literski says.

Olisi kyllä hyvä jos tuo Brown kirjoittaisikin jatko-osan Da Vinci-koodiin ja ymppäisi siihen mormonien temppelitouhutkin, materiaaliahan on vaikka kokonaiseen sarjaan. Tekisi elokuvankin. Miltähän Tom Hanks näyttää garmenteissa ja temppelivaatteissa?

Vaan tässä on kysymyksessä se että ko. aihe on tiedetty ja siihen vaan jaksa kukaan vastata.
Ja myöskin koska kysessä on temppeliin liityviä juttuja niin katsomme että niistä ei niin helposti haluta puhua temppelin ulkopuolella.
juuri siinä kohdassa, jonne linkitit.
voi kun tekee mieli!
