A theologian close to Pope John Paul II and until 2003 the deputy head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the most powerful office at the Vatican, has condemned the book for sowing doubts and misrepresenting Christianity's central mystery. He said the book's claims, including the notion that the Holy Grail is made of the bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, are inconclusive and will only serve to further fuel skepticism.The DA VINCI CODE novel has become immensely popular, riding recent scandals within the Catholic Church and a growing interest in gnostic and apocryphal writings. It's also riding on the cultural trends of feminization and New Age crazes. Among other things, the book has contributed to the increasing illiteracy of Christian doctrine and the general acceptance of a "spiritual" mindset.The book's author, Dan Brown, has a plethora of history-challenged claims. He has also drawn on an old stereotype of the Catholic Church as an evil institution, a stereotype that has been selling well in the U.S. for decades.
