Da Vinci Code

[Undertoad]

it has to do with deceiving people about their faith with a book being published in nations where they do not have access to the same alternate information & resources that we in the US and Europe have.

Code's entire story is about competing control over Truth - what the church insists, in order to maintain its power, versus the actual, provable truth. To claim it has integrity, then, it only needs to be more factual than the Bible. Which, I'm gonna guess, it is.

For the rest of us, I saw the movie with J over the weekend and found it to be an enjoyable mystery story romp. I "get it" - there's nothing serious to this, it's like... Crichton books are ripping yarns with a loose basis in science, and Grisham books are ripping yarns with a loose basis in the law, so Brown books are apparently ripping yarns with a loose basis in theology.
