Consider that the alleged conspiracy underlying the biggest cover up in human history bears a remarkable resemblance to another phony conspiracy, the famous hoax called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Apparently authored by Russian monarchist and anti-Semite Mathieu Golovinski in 1898, the Protocols tells of a secret society of Jewish elders that work to keep gentiles ignorant of a plot to rule the world through Darwinism, Marxism, and Nietzscheism. A very interesting insight.

I emphasize that Dan Brown never intended to foment bigotry. I doubt this very much.

No, it's not WMD's, the big cover-up is starting the WOT to make money for Bush's and Cheney's oil pals.

A Barna Group poll found that 53 percent of the books readers said The Da Vinci Code aided their personal spiritual growth and understanding. Good grief.

It is a novel novel. Only the guilty dog barks while no man pursueth...or some such. I enjoyed the novel and I am enjoying - hugely - the apologies.

This Klinghoffer guy isn't a Jew, he's an evangelical Christian who davens. There's nothing wrong with that, but he should be honest with his readership.

Its a story. A fantasy. Pure fiction. I saw the same intellectual energy wasted on Harry Potter.

What a boatload of crapola. We went down this same road prior to the release of Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ. So far, all the prediction of doom and gloom for Jews have failed to materialize.

And "War of the Worlds " was a fictional radio invasion from Mars. The problem as I see it. Is that the average person in America is so Biblically illiterate and so uninformed of the historical church that fiction and non-fiction will blend together. I am surprised real groups like Opus Dei have not gotten an injuction to either stop the movie of get the "disclaimer."
If that fails, I would try a multi billion dollar defamation of character suit after the movie comes out.

Someone gave me a copy of the Da Vinci Code a couple of Christmases ago.
I read it in a three days or so if I recall correctly.
Total rip off, complete garbage, and absolutely plagiarized in lots of spots.
This is the sort of stuff that makes for best sellers and blockbuster movies nowadays.
It is shameful.

No, Kinghoffer is not a Christian. I am not sure where you got that from, but Kinghoffer wrote, "Why the Jews Rejected Christianity."

The beautification and canonization of Escriva were controversial within the Catholic Church (mostly having to do with the internal issues of Catholicism), and most who criticize Opus Dei are Catholics.
Information like the following comes from the critics of Opus Dei.
http://www.answers.com/topic/opus-deiFr. Vladimir Felzmann, a former Opus Dei member who is presently working as a priest in a parish in England, quoted Escriva as saying that Adolf Hitler couldnt have been such a bad person. He couldn't have killed six million. It couldn't have been more than four million. Felzmann quotes Escriva as having said: "Hitler against the Jews, Hitler against the Slavs, this means Hitler against communism."
Opus Dei and Francisco Franco supported each other.
Opus Dei, to be brief, was involved with Augusto Pinochet.
I haven't found anything of current antisemitism from Opus Dei, though, except for
British Education Secretary Ruth Kelly's support of neo-Nazism.
The cilice, a spiked chain worn around the thighs of members for the purpose of "corporal mortification" (pain, "self-discipline"), is often mentioned by critics. Here's a photo of a cilice.
The cilice originated in Cilicia in Asia Minor, according to Rev. Michael Giesler, an Opus Dei priest.

It would be very interesting to see where the research all the way back to Cilicia, in Asia Minor, goes. ...pre-Christian, likely?

Opus Dei has about 80,000 members as of the most recently known public mention (see Annuario Pontificio, the Vatican yearbook), so other information supporting Opus Dei (and rebutting that above) is very easy to find. See the enormous amount of information injected into our government archives, or see the following for starters.
