The basic premise of the book. Jesus was a man who married and had kids. The church has been keeping this secret for 2000 years and will do anything (up to murder) to keep it that way. Through 2000 years of wars, famine, invasion and collapses of civilizations, this secret has been so well kept that nobody ever knew about it. It took a mighty and wise writer from New Hampshire to discovered it.
This, in an age, where a sitting president and an intern can't keep secret a BJ for more than 3 months...

... It's important because people believe what they read." Well then, Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" must've thrown the entirety of Christianity into an absolute tizzy!

It must say something bad about Christians that they would be so hard-up for entertainment that they would even THINK about attending a movie that slams the Savior.
I don't go to many movies anyway, but there's my $0.02

I don't understand why some are getting so worked up over a piece of fiction. Poorly written fiction at that.

I think back 2 years ago when the media was championiing another film from Cannes. Fahrenheit 9/11.
Don't seem to recall any attempts to permit someone from "the other side" to come on the national broadcast networks and disect this film.

Maybe somebody got smart and realized that vehement protest just gives it more publicity.

Finally, Lauer interviewed, live in St. Peter's Square, Father Gregory Apparcel, Rector of the American Catholic Church in Rome. Here's where the Church's ambivalence was evident.
This guy turns a couple statements by random clerics into "the Church's ambivalence"? What this writer doesn't seem to understand is that the Church is the complete Body of Christ--not just one priest.
And trust me, the devout clergy and laity are not ambivalent. We're fired up! Of course, this writer (and the unctuous Matt Lauer, of course) couldn't be bothered to find and interview someone from
TFP.

Anybody who can wade through The Da Vinci Code is a functional illiterate.
Anybody who takes it seriously has the IQ of a gnat.
