Even the NCC is upset with 'DaVinci'
The National Council of Churches- of which the ELCA is a member- has criticized The Da Vinci Code for not including its own pet distortion of the Gospel among its heresies.
It's issued a press release saying that the firm wasn't sensitive enough to Christ's real concern- not the redemption of the human race from sin and death, but social and political reform.
For the film to call into question the Incarnation, the goodness of God's creation, the Christian understanding of salvation, and just about every other cardinal tenet of the Faith doesn't see, tp disturb the NCC. Nor should this be surprising. After all, many of the churches which comprise it have tolerated and even embraced many such distortions of the Faith for decades.
