Coalition of Catholics Offers Antidote to The Da Vinci Code

ENCINITAS, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Da Vinci Code, the Dan Brown novel and forthcoming (May 19th) Ron Howard/Tom Hanks motion picture, urges audiences in its marketing literature to "Seek the Truth." Ironically, the book begins with a list of "facts" that apparently neither the author nor the filmmakers ever actually fact-checked. "The Da Vinci Code is the epitome of the old saying that if you're going to tell a lie, make it a really big one. The book has wooed and intimidated more than 30 million readers by skillfully tapping into what many have identified as America's last acceptable prejudice - anti-Catholicism," stated Tom Allen, President & Editor-in-Chief, CatholicExchange.com.
