The WaPo Debunks Duh Vinci
You needn't go to a Christian source to learn the historical inaccuracies of the DVC; here's an article from a newspaper often decried as "liberal:" Contentious Notions: Are They True?*
Tangentially, the book and movie came up in my evening non-credit class tonight. All of the students, most of them graduate students and, by coincidence, most of them Catholic, had read the book. [It is, after all, the best selling novel ever.] One student, a Sunday school teacher at my parish and a very upright young man who once discerned a vocation, reported that his students had asked him about the book's claims. He did his best to refute what Dan Brown wrote, but said that his students refused to believe him. Sad it is that a book is having such a effect on young Catholic minds.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
