Da Vinci Code Baloney

According to statistics from the Roman Catholic Church, 22 per cent of British adults have now read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, and of those 60 per cent believe that, it is probably the case that Jesus indeed got married to Mary Magdalene and sired a line of descendants. Wow! cries of heresy from the eclesiastical corner. In the Vatican, the papal portavoce has described this pot-boiler as ’shameful and unfounded lies’. Let's complain and drive more people into the book shops and the movie theatres seems like a great publicity campaign for the rights holders. On the other side, claims of the biggest, the spookiest, the most chilling conspiracy in history, by the non eclesiasticals.

So here we have a major fisticuffs between two groups of people who each to a certain degree support two different works of fiction. Hello it is a book and a movie. Let's not get too alarmed.
