the THE DA VINCI CODE is just ficiton.......................... i did not say this but my teacher who is non-religous.......people who don't believe in the prescense of god. so even people like that know it's ficiton. i don't think the person was writing it to be non-ficiton but just a plain good old story, which goes aganist christianity, but so as other many books.

The Church is trying hard to bring people to Christ [in the case of France, trying hard to bring them BACK to Christ], and then something like this just shakes everything.
I havent read the book, but I heard a lot about it; and I'm saddened that someone needs to write a book insulting to our Lord to amuse others in the name of entertainment. I believe that Intelligence is the ability to say what you want without offending others; and many people were offended by this book.
But, in everything bad, there is something good; it could work for the Lord's glory in that, people who rarely read the bible have read the Da Vinci Code. Its made them curious about Christ's life. This small interest may grow in becoming closer to God, with some small evangelisation that may help correct any false assumptions they have.
Perhaps? Its a wish at least.

It is definately false. The book has been proved to be false by scholars. It was based on another book (holy blood, holy grale) which was already proven false. That book was based on an ancient "secret society" in France - the people who invented this society admitted they did so in the 70's and that there was no such thing.
One of the themes of the book is that the Church staged a huge cover up about Jesus marriage to Mary Magdalene (a great blasphemy!) because they didn't want women to have power in the Church, and so they slandered her, calling her a prostitute.
This is quite simply rediculous since St Mary Magdalene has (atleast in the EO tradition) always held the title "equal to the Apostles". The idea that she is the same person as the prostitute mention in the Bible the Church considers a mistaken one - in fact, from what I've read, the Church maintains that she was a virgin until her repose.
So quite clearly, the Church has done nothing to slander this Saint in order to opress women.
still not convinced... i got 2 down to earth powerpoints if ne1 wants em i can email it to them

Here is a declaration by the Egypt Council of Churches, Signed by H.H. Pope Shenouda III regarding the DaVinci Code.
Also, http://www.nacopts.org has a few articles about the topic as well.
This will give you a full view of the church on the topic.

[move][glow=orange,2,300]ok then!!!![/glow][/move]
why would anyone just sit down and make stuff like that up?
Its a waste of time, and i was told that H.H banned it and said we couldn't watch it is that true?
Pray for me a sinner
May the prayers of Pope Kyrollos be with us all Amen
Glory be to Our GOD Amen!
I do not know if Pope Shenouda has given such a statement, but as an issue, if we buy the book or go watch the movie we are helping to propagate the heresy and help the financial interests of a terrible man set on defaming the Christian Faith.
Save your money for the poor. If you remember them, God's Mercy is truly close for those who do so.
SECOND, I READ THE BOOK....IT GIVES U BAD THOUGHTS AND DOUBTS ABOUT GOD... DO NOT EVER READ IT,
its amazing.
If you can get you hands on it read it.
