The Da Vinci Debacle

Gene Edward Veith notes that even secularist historians are forthright in dismissing the blatant historical inaccuracies upon which the whole premise of The Da Vinci Code depends.

The problem here is the unprecedented magnitiude of the historical and religious ignorance of the American people at this particular moment in history- and the certainty that most people who see the movie won't recognize the "howlers."

I'm certain lots of people will be amazed at what they 'learn' from the movie. They'll either wonder why no one ever told them all this before, or else feel vindicated, having their basest suspicions about religion in general--Christianity in particular--at last confirmed.
It's a lose/lose.
