The Catholic Church and all major religions for that matter, abhor historical analysis of their early days. I've often been a proponent towards teaching classes in religious history (not the watered down Sunday School mush) in our public schools. I think the world's population needs to know the true details on the origins of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and how all of them evolved from the early Pagan beliefs.

The Da Vinci Code, in spite of its characters and plotline being fictional, is still centered around concrete evidence that the early Catholic Church manipulated the documents available detailing the life of Jesus years after his lifetime to create the modern Bible we know today. Most of the sheep that follow the utterings of senile old men with pointy hats are completely unaware of that history and it must scare the hell out of powers that be that a substantial number of their flock are avid movie goers.

Whether the revelations about the Prior de Sion, the Knights Templar, the strange clues in Da Vinci's work, and the Merovginian Dynasty hold any water really doesn't matter to those masses of people that rely on entertainment blockbusters for their view of the world. There will be thousands of people who are going to begin to question their church and that has to have Cardinals dealing with their vestment wedgies.

I for one will enjoy watching them squirm.
