They're Just Upset that Jesus' Descendants Would be French
From the New York Times, April 27, 2004:
Defenders of Christianity Rebut 'The Da Vinci Code'
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN
Fearing that the best-selling novel "The Da Vinci Code" may be sowing doubt about basic Christian beliefs, a host of Christian churches, clergy members and Bible scholars are rushing to rebut it.
Readers have bought more than six million copies of the book, a historical thriller that claims Christianity was founded on a cover-up — that the church has conspired for centuries to hide evidence that Jesus was a mere mortal, married Mary Magdalene and had children whose descendants live in France.
