[Ghoulish Delight]

Doesn't the book start off by saying something like, "This is all true."? And Brown himself certainly hasn't gone to great lengths to disuade people from that impression.

But whatever. Conspiracy theories like this will always have legs. The beauty is that to those that want to believe it, denial and lack of evidence is the very evidence that it's true. So it seems rather pointless for the church to be screaming about it and begging for disclaimers since that just falls into "protests too much" for someone who's going to believe the conspiracy anyway.
