Criticism of The Da Vinci Code
''The Da Vinci Code'', a popular suspense novel by Dan Brown, generated criticism and controversy after its publication in 2003. Many of the complaints centered on the book's speculations and alleged misrepresentations of core aspects of Christianity and the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Additional criticisms were directed towards the book's inaccurate descriptions of European art, history, architecture, and geography.
Charges of copyright infringement were also leveled by the novelist Lewis Perdue and by the authors of the 1982 book ''The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail'', which puts forward the hypothesis that the historical Jesus married Mary Magdalene, and that their children or their descendants emigrated to what is now southern France, and married into families that became the Merovingian dynasty, whose claim to the throne of France is championed today by the Priory of Sion.〔(''The Secret of the Priory of Sion'', '60 Minutes', 30 April 2006, presented by Ed Bradley, produced by Jeanne Langley, CBS News )〕 Brown was cleared of these charges in a 2006 trial.〔("Court rejects Da Vinci copy claim" ). BBC News. April 7, 2006〕
==Fact or fiction==
Brown prefaces his novel with a page titled "Fact" asserting that certain elements in the novel are true in reality, and a page at his website repeats these ideas and others.〔("Bizarre True Facts – ''The Da Vinci Code''" ). danbrown.com. Retrieved July 31, 2011.〕 In the early publicity for the novel, Dan Brown made repeated assertions that, while the novel is a work of fiction, the historical information in it is all accurate and well-researched. For example:
These claims in the book and by the author, combined with the presentation of religious ideas that some Christians regard as offensive,〔("Offensive against 'Da Vinci'" ). ''The New York Times''. April 28, 2006.〕〔Kohn, Joe (June 2, 2006). "Church handled 'Da Vinci' well, says UDM prof". ''The Michigan Catholic''. The Archdiocese of Detroit.〕 led to a great deal of controversy and debate, which found its way into political discourse in the media. For example, a front-page article in ''The Independent'' on May 10, 2006 stated that Ruth Kelly, a senior British Government Minister, was questioned about her affiliations: "Ms Kelly's early days as Education Secretary were dogged with questions about her religion, and her membership of the conservative Opus Dei organization which features in the best-selling novel ''The Da Vinci Code''."〔''The Independent'', May 10, 2006〕
