Not being a theologian, making that call would be above my pay-grade.

What I was driving at was that if something like The Da Vinci Code
is enough to present a serious challenge to one's faith...then there
is a problem. And (just my opinion), it probably lies with a person
not having a good grounding in apologetics and church history.
That does leave an open question of whether it's because the churches aren't
instructing well on those topics.
AND/OR
the congregants aren't paying enough attention when those topics
are covered.

Apologetics is:

1. The branch of theology that is concerned with defending or proving the truth of Christian doctrines.
2. Formal argumentation in defense of something, such as a position or system.

It means you defend your self, or your ideas. The idea of "apology" for a wrongdoing came about later, an outgrowth from the original meaning.
