"But as a practicing Catholic, I find the idea of corrupt churchmen and Holy Grails far less troubling than the insinuation that any person with any cartilage whatsoever in their spiritual spine would find "The Da Vinci Code" the least bit threatening to their faith."

Threat to a Christian's faith is NOT the problem. The problem is that non-Christians are lapping up the outrageous lies concerning the history of the church and the divinity of Christ.

Non-Christians can read the word "fiction" printed on the spine of the book as easily as Christians. And non-Christians presumably don't believe in the divinity of Christ anyway.

I don't get your point.
If someone is NOT Christian, and doesn't believe in Jesus and the Resurrection in the first place, what difference does this book make????

There truly is no PROOF of either position--Resurrection or lived on and did have a few years of life with a female companion.

Early versions of the Bible had many references to reincarnation. A Pope of earlier times had it all re-written and all such references removed, according to some books I have read. Dead Sea Scrolls have other references not included in today's Bible.
This current version of the Bible is just that:
THE CURRENT VERSION!!!!!
