However, as Thuc had not obtained permission to do so from the Holy See, he and all five men were excommunicated by Pope Paul VI, the very man they were claiming to support. Since I’m not only an ex-Palmarian but also an ex-nun of that Church, I’m fascinated to discover that Dan Brown has taken some of my own very personal story and woven it into Origin, a work of fiction. The town of El Palmar de Troya is a small, unassuming one, nestled deep in the Andalusian region of southern Spain, 31 miles south of Seville.
