The Da Vinci Code

There is all sorts of an uproar in the religious community over this movie coming out.

It is fictional. While Brown did much research for the book, his twists many things (again, I don't say that he is trying to present it as fact) to make his story work.

Is there a reason for such an uproar? I find it interesting, actually, because I have learned all sorts of new things in reading information on the Gnostic gospels and Constantine and the history of the Christian Church in general that I didn't know before. I am only learning this because I am curious as to the reality of the situation that Brown has fictionalized in his book.

I guess I can understand that many fear the book and movie are taken as fact. I just am not worried about it too much.
