In a way, it’s fitting that The Da Vinci Code should have come out. The lines between those for Christ and those against seem to be sharpening these days, and the sides are asserting themselves. The Christ camp briefly uncovered its usually hidden muscle in the popular forum with “The Passion.” Now the other side is rearing its head. So what’s our move? First of all prayer and the sacraments, and then studying our own history, starting with the Gospels. In this battle for fence sitters, let’s counter the Code‘s unsubstantiated assertions with solid historical research, and let the hearer decide.
Viva Christo Rey!
