The Two Marys
I'm not even sure what to say about this at this point. I'm stunned by those who take The DaVinci Code and turn it into the basis for Marian devotion - no, not that Mary - Mary Magdalene. Did these people do the same thing with each episode of the X-Files? Listen, this book is a great ride and will be a very watchable movie, but it's a work of fiction. Even the scholarship it's based on is pretty shaky. I know, I know, Dan Brown claims that the data behind the story is all true. So did the opening shot of Fargo. But the Coen brothers made it up. The truth is, the facts don't bear up under the weight of history. Get Darrell Bock's take on it here.
The two Mary's duke it out on CNN tomorrow night. Set your Tivos!

It's appalling how many people missed the memo on that one. FICTION! IT'S FICTION, PEOPLE! It even says "a novel" on the cover. There are even members of the clergy who seem unclear about this concept. Apparently, it's in fashion to blame the world's ills on the Knights Templar-- even Hollywood has jumped on that bandwagon. Well, the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem is still around, and, from what I can see, basically functioning as a Ladies' and Gents' Auxilliary for various churches, raising funds and such.
