    Question for Chico

    This has probably been asked before but my eyes usually glaze over at "Does God Exist" threads.

    Anyway, what do you think about the theories espoused in the story "Da Vinci Code"? Is the Catholic church a load of old b0llocks after all?

    I don't think you need the Da Vinci Code to realise that !

      Well, the theory doesn't necessarily knock Christianity on the head, just various interpretations of it, particularly the Roman Catholics. I was wondering what a non-Catholic Christian makes of it.

        The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. Grow up!

          I have not read the Da Vinci Code - that type of fiction does not appeal to me. There are acres of ripostes, rebuttals, refutations etc about it so I will not get into that. As regards the Catholic Church like any human institution it is fallible. The Bible concept of the church is followers of Jesus (irrespective of denominations) who worship God in spirit and in truth. John 4.23

            Have you burned it already?
            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

              If you'd have bothered to read my original question, you'd have noted that I referred not to the story, but to the theories espoused by the book which, as most observers are aware, are based on serious research carried out by many people, famously Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, who wrote 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Now, whether one considers the published results of such research to be fact or fiction is a matter for each to decide; I am agnostic on the subject. I am merely asking the views of someone who purports to be a serious Christian.
