• Examines the name of the game alliance of Catholic Sulpicians and French Huguenots to preserve the Templar legacy

• Reveals the hidden knowledge preserved in the Templar baptisteries found all the way through Europe and in Newport, Rhode Island

In 1524 the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano used to be sent by the French king Francis I on an expedition ostensibly to find a shorter route to China. Then again, his true mission, Steven Sora suggests, used to be to contact a Templar colony that might have been established in Newport, Rhode Island, by Henry Sinclair at the end of the 14th century. In his expedition log Verrazano recorded that his only stay on this journey used to be at Newport Harbor, the site of a tower built to the exact measurements of a Templar baptistery, a sacred sanctuary representing baptism and eternal life.

This tower is a remnant of Sinclair’s voyage to The usa nearly a century before that of Columbus (who had access to Sinclair’s maps thanks to his wife, who used to be Sinclair’s great-granddaughter). Even as Verrazano’s mission succeeded in finding the tower, the colony itself eluded him. His backers then determined to resurrect the dream of Acadia–a place where they could aspire to higher knowledge without fear of Church or state–by creating a new Secret Society that included Huguenots and Catholic Sulpicians. This Company of the Holy Sacrament would lay the foundations for Montreal in an attempt to realize the ambitions of Sinclair and his Templar companions, in addition to to stave off efforts by the Jesuits to change into Quebec into a fiefdom of the orthodox Church. Quebec’s motto, “Je me souviens” (I understand that), is a reference to this secret history.
