I've heard some of the uproar - at least bits and pieces of it but I haven't gotten into my own fact finding study. I heard a lot of these larger theories in school while studying art history, so it's nothing new. It just wasn't really in the popular zeitgeist until now.
I tend to sort of roll my eyes at most religious uproar. I'm just a product of my Fundi upbringing I guess. But, Orham Pamuk, Salmon Rushdie, Dan Brown - it's FICTION. (But, I tend to think that parts of the bible are, at best, historiclal fiction at this point.)
What is "the church" worried about anyways? Heaven forbid they are found out for simplifying and dumbing down history. Baaaaa!
Again, my eyes can't help but roll.
