At
this
gathering
,
»
Teabing
said
,
»
many
aspects
of
Christianity
were
debated
and
voted
upon
–
the
date
of
Easter
,
the
role
of
the
bishops
,
the
administration
of
sacraments
,
and
,
of
course
,
the
divinityof
Jesus
.
»
«
I
don
’
t
follow
.
His
divinity
?
»
«
My
dear
,
»
Teabing
declared
,
»
until
that
moment
in
history
,
Jesus
was
viewed
by
His
followers
as
a
mortal
prophet
…
a
great
and
powerful
man
,
but
a
man
nonetheless
.
A
mortal
.
»
«
Not
the
Son
of
God
?
»
«
Right
,
»
Teabing
said
.
«
Jesus
’
establishment
as
‘
the
Son
of
God
’
was
officially
proposed
and
voted
on
by
the
Council
of
Nicaea
.
»
«
Hold
on
.
You
’
re
saying
Jesus
’
divinity
was
the
result
of
a
vote
?
»
«
A
relatively
close
vote
at
that
,
»
Teabing
added
.
«
Nonetheless
,
establishing
Christ
’
s
divinity
was
critical
to
the
further
unification
of
the
Roman
empire
and
to
the
new
Vatican
power
base
.
By
officially
endorsing
Jesus
as
the
Son
of
God
,
Constantine
turned
Jesus
into
a
deity
who
existed
beyond
the
scope
of
the
human
world
,
an
entity
whose
power
was
unchallengeable
.
This
not
only
precluded
further
pagan
challenges
to
Christianity
,
but
now
the
followers
of
Christ
were
able
to
redeem
themselves
only
via
the
established
sacred
channel
–
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
.

Sophie
glanced
at
Langdon
,
and
he
gave
her
a
soft
nod
of
concurrence
.
«
It
was
all
about
power
,
»
Teabing
continued
.
«
Christ
as
Messiah
was
critical
to
the
functioning
of
Church
and
state
.
Many
scholars
claim
that
the
early
Church
literally
stole
Jesus
from
His
original
followers
,
hijacking
His
human
message
,
shrouding
it
in
an
impenetrable
cloak
of
divinity
,
and
using
it
to
expand
their
own
power
.
I
’
ve
written
several
books
on
the
topic
.
»
«
And
I
assume
devout
Christians
send
you
hate
mail
on
a
daily
basis
?
»
«
Why
would
they
?
»
Teabing
countered
.
«
The
vast
majority
of
educated
Christians
know
the
history
of
their
faith
.
Jesus
was
indeed
a
great
and
powerful
man
.
Constantine
’
s
underhanded
political
maneuvers
don
’
t
diminish
the
majesty
of
Christ
’
s
life
.
Nobody
is
saying
Christ
was
a
fraud
,
or
denying
that
He
walked
the
earth
and
inspired
millions
to
better
lives
.
All
we
are
saying
is
that
Constantine
took
advantage
of
Christ
’
s
substantial
influence
and
importance
.
And
in
doing
so
,
he
shaped
the
face
of
Christianity
as
we
know
it
today
.

Sophie
glanced
at
the
art
book
before
her
,
eager
to
move
on
and
see
the
Da
Vinci
painting
of
the
Holy
Grail
.
«
The
twist
is
this
,
»
Teabing
said
,
talking
faster
now
.
«
Because
Constantine
upgraded
Jesus
’
status
almost
four
centuries
after
Jesus
’
death
,
thousands
of
documents
already
existed
chronicling
His
life
as
a
mortal
man
.
To
rewrite
the
history
books
,
Constantine
knew
he
would
need
a
bold
stroke
.
