Church website denounces Da Vinci book
By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent
 
THE Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales begins
a campaign today against Dan Brown’s bestselling The
Da Vinci Code, denouncing it as logically and
historically flawed and a risible hoax. 
A new Catholic website aimed at Da Vinci fans is timed
to coincide with today’s feast of St Mary Magdalene,
depicted in the book as the sacred vessel, or Holy
Grail, who bore Jesus Christ’s children. The site,
designed by the Catholic Enquiry Office (CEO), a
national office of the Church, includes biographies of
St Mary, Bible extracts, prayers, articles, web links,
images and a cake recipe. 
 
It includes question-andanswer sessions listing
alleged historical, artistic and religious errors in
the book, such as its depiction of the Catholic
organisation Opus Dei.
