Rosicrucians are a bit like the people on the List, actually. They are
playing mental games that don't attract everyone, but that they enjoy
enough to take seriously. (Heresy is only useful as a concept in a
monoreligious world anyway, otherwise people who care would never stop
slinging mud in all directions while the rest of us dozed off.)

However, it is undeniable (so far, anyway!) that neither Jesus nor the
Rosicrucians get a mention in the HP books.
