I say educate yourself to the defense of the Catholic Faith against the assertions in this movie. Do not allow your children to spend their money on this product.
The premise of the Church is that the truth will be revealed to us through the working of the Holy Spirit (that is Biblical). Any new truth will not contradict scripture but it may certainly expand understanding beyond scripture (i.e. the doctrine of the Trinity, the doctrine of Mary, etc.). This is why we put our faith in the Church, which may not know all the truth but it will never produce a false doctrine. Today's environment of freedom without responsibility must drive all believers to a higher level of support for the Church and adherence to its teachings on all the difficult topics such as birth control, fornication, abortion, homosexuality, etc. We will make the Church more relevant by our own actions when we speak with our wallets and not watch trash sitcom TV shows and sexually explicit movies, and boycott products who advertise on those programs. WE HOLD THE POWER BUT ARE AFRAID TO WEILD IT. Let me warn you, the devil is not afraid to wield his weapons that disguises evil as good or reasonable. Help your family and friends learn to pray and to understand the real power of prayer. We are in a battle, put on the armor of God. It is incumbant on ourselves to fight the battle of evil at a higher level of intellect and faith than which allowed it to be created.

The Da vinci code by Dan brown is a real DIRT from the west, maligning faith of christian believers and non believers. The content of the book is totally false, fabricated and designed by devil to motivate yound minds to sin against God. It is shocking and shameful that people in the west from whom christianity was spread to whole world are not showing any serious resistance to it. I think the movie should be banned if we fellow christians want to save thier faith in other communties, merely by saying that this book will not affect our faith is a sheer cowardness, so its high time to pray and protest against the movie as it is totally un biblical and opposite to christian faith.If this movie is released, i personally feel that millions of non-christians who are showing interest in christianity will not accept Christ and the efforts of our chirstian brethren who are working in Asia, Africa and in my home country India preaching the word of God will go waste. By this real Dirt by Dan brown we christians of third world countries will suffer, as the movie says the very opposite about what we preach. So i pray and request every faithful Christian to boycott Da vinci and let us we all stand together to ban the movie.

The Da Vinci Code should be a great movie. The DVD will probably be even better. The only people who need to worry are the likes of Opus Dei and their spiritual cousins, the equally-secret Legion of Christ. And maybe the Society of St. Pius X and other poorly educated Catholics who can't really enjoy good fiction. Sad.

I have researched the facts for myself and come to my own conclusions. That's because I have a brain and a conscience, and I will use them. When I was studying theology at university, I developed a real interest in the Dead Sea Scrolls and now being a lecturer I hope to take some time to research the issues behind the blood line of Jesus and the search for the Holy Grail. I sincerely hope the film is a huge success.

The Da Vinci code is represented by Dan Brown as the "truth" and "serious historical scholarship". Christians and non-Christians deserve the real truth.

I applaud the Jesus decoded web site concept, but why is the spokesmen putting so much psychic energy into trashing what the movie says? The movie is fiction, fake, unreal, fantasy. That is what needs to be said, don’t dignify it with overly specific analysis which the story of Jesus decoded should not stoop to do.

I do not understand why Christians are so threatened by The Da Vinci Code. Is it because the doctrine of the Trinity can not be found in the Gospels? Is it because the Trinity was first affirmed at the Council of Constantinople in 381, 350 years after Christ died? Is it because there were many Christians who had alternate beliefs from the proto-orthodox mainstream and the Da Vinci Code mentions their existence? Is it because the major councils of the church contained over 95% Eastern bishops and no pope?

That the USCCB has a Web site that points out the myths and false statements made about Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church, is a very good starting point for those that do not truly know the Catholic faith. That Holywood would promote a film that basically totally attacks the Catholic Church and Divinity of Jesus Christ shows what hypocrits those running Hollywood and who made this film really are. Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ was viciously attacked by Hollywood before it was even released, even though it was based on fact and bliblical accounts of the crucifixtion of Jesus Christ. To add insult to injury, the Passion of The Christ was a huge world wide success with tens of millions of people watching this incredible film that was so courageous, it was even filmed in Aramaic and Latin with subtitles. The recent cartoon of Mohammed in Denmark was justly widely condemned by authorties the world over. Why then is a movie that tries so desparately and purposefully to demystify and defame the Divinty of Jesus Christ and the Holy Family, even being allowed to be released? The movie should be banned! Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who in fact is God come to earth as a man, to shed his precious blood on the cross for our sins, and the salvation of all mankind, no matter what faith they believe. Why must Jesus Christ continue to be crucified through films and books that spread vicious lies and distortions about him. Jesus is love! Jesus is our only saviour!
