I think Dan Browns book: Devils and Angels was better then the Code - near the end he justifies the Church's objections and why it (church) does what it does as we seem to be diving headlong into technology and a modern life that seems not to hold much value in our fellow man or society in general.
Being a Christian, I am neither afraid of the book or the movie and Devils and Angels can and does an excellent job of justifying the Catholic churches role of trying to keep us sane in what seems to be an insane world.
Many people today put their world view based on a historical event then justify everything from that point never caring or thinking, what happened just before that event happened.
The book and the movie are fiction - the sad part is that in the modern world with all the technology available to the millions of people in the world, we have not seemed to become any smarter then those that could not read or write 6,000 years ago.

I have Devils and Angels but haven't read it yet because I was rather turned off by D. Code. What is it about?

Agree!
"ANGELS AND DEMONS" is a much better read.
