I really like the new Pope,but get over this, it is just a novel. It is fiction. Like Fairy Tales. Ever read The Brother's Grimm?
What's next? Bookburning in the public Square?
The Da Vinci Code is just a good summer read, IT IS A NOVEL, and not a very good one at that.

The problem with DVC is that everyone I've talked to said that although it's fiction it's historically accurate and has uncovered truths that have been hidden. (BTW, I can't agree it's a good summer read. The writing is so bad it's painful. It's hard to believe it was ever viewed by an editor.)

About Foucault's Pendulum. The difference is the in the end, Eco makes fun of all the conspiracy types, including the main character.
