Key Notes
diagnosis
Jiang interprets fraternity sacramentally through communion and the Last Supper, then claims that power-seeking elements inside Freemasonry and the Knights Templars radicalize this into corpse-consumption rituals meant to bind members to one another and to their dead predecessors.

evidence
Da Vinci's Last Supper forces investigation because Judas is not obviously isolated; the viewer must read faces, hands, light, coins, and bodily tension to discover betrayal.
evidence
Jiang treats the Da Vinci Code reading of The Last Supper as entertaining rather than scholarly, but still useful for seeing the painting's emphasis on Jesus' humanity.
model
The Last Supper's hidden musical and biblical structures are read as encoding Lamentations' message that God always loves, forgives, and refuses hatred.
