What is it with Ron Howard and Tom Hanks? Even the most ardent anti-Catholics have admited this DaVinci Code stuff is pure fiction with no historical basis. Yet they keep pushing it like it is of some import.
People like intrigue.
I wonder how that would do at the box office?
“Even the most ardent anti-Catholics have admited this DaVinci Code stuff is pure fiction with no historical basis”
The books and movies are fiction. They have no historical basis, other than the few historical details on architecture, artwork, and the Vatican. Some people on both sides want to make this book non-fiction to support their position of outrage over the attacks on the church, or to support their anti-Catholic views. They are both wrong.
The reality is that the book is fiction, it is classified as fiction, and it is full of fictional information.
