1) Jesus cleansed t he Temple twice, at the beginning and the end of His ministry.Holy Monday occurred one day after Palm Sunday. Only one day before Holy Monday, the Pharisees had ordered Jesus to silence the crowd’s joyful praises (Luke 19:37–39). Five days later, Pilate would not be able to silence a crowd who condemned the Son of God (Luke 23:22–25). What did Jesus do and say during this final week that caused the crowd’s conflicting responses? Jesus would use this second day of what we now call Holy Week to demonstrate genuine faith in God and to affirm His Messianic authority.
Holy Monday – A Temple Cleansed
Another event of Holy Monday is the Temple cleaning. John 2:13–17 bears record of Jesus’ first cleansing of the Temple, presenting Himself as the Messiah. This first cleansing was for teaching and admonishing. The second cleansing occurred during Jesus’ final week before His crucifixion. As part of prophesy, Jesus pronounced a symbolic judgment upon the irreverence for the Lord’s house of prayer (Isaiah 56:7, Jeremiah 7:11).
The thirty-minute journey from Bethany to Jerusalem provided Jesus the time to reflect on how the city had changed. In the past two years, some had forgotten whose house the Temple was. Commercialism and greed had altered the character of the Temple. Currency (temple money), used to purchase sacrifices, was subject to extortion. Jesus chose to clean out the Temple one last time. In righteous indignation, “He who comes in the name of the Lord,” overturned the moneychangers’ tables and benches in the outer court of the Gentiles (Matthew 21:9, 12–13).
Ironic, huh
Not funny ha-ha but funny as in absurd, ridiculous and half witted.Since their tautology diatribe of "serve the Pope or die" before & after incidents where firemen start fires to burn old glories, one nation under God Knights of Columbus Papal contingents stealing & burning a bereavement memorial to JFK or the burning Bush's patriot act of 9/11 Catholic "man is God" implies it to deemed so.......

2) Much more had preceded the change of heart of the mob in Jerusalem, and not everyone who hailed Him on Palm Sunday were present at His trial and crucifixion.

LolJesus' Crown of Thorns Rescued from Inferno at Notre Dame Cathedral
St. Louis first carried Jesus Christ’s Crown of Thorns into the Sainte-Chapelle for the first time in 1238.
Aww that's good such a part of history these savages want to destroy.
How are they more mysterious than any other graves ?The world should demand DNA tests of the two mysterious graves in Kashmir to start tracing Joseph's cavortations and exploits.
Why did god let the place be burned down in the first place?Jesus' Crown of Thorns Rescued from Inferno at Notre Dame Cathedral

Does Dr. Langdon know about this? You may want to write to him.St. Louis carrying the thorns from the site of crucifixion (Roman crucifixions were performed up-side down) was a decoy, when the real question to the whereabouts of the wearer of the crown seem to lead to the two graves in Kashmir attended to by the Essenes.
Yes they do, however as a Christian I find the opulence, pomp and circumstance, appalling to say the least.
They could do so much more and yet choose to indulge in areas yielding little immediate care to their flock and mission.
