The seed of Christ that she carried became the root of the Merovingian royal family, and the line, which continues to this day, must be hidden and guarded from enemies, e.g. After Christ was crucified, a pregnant Mary Magdalene escaped to France. Jesus, from the royal house of David, was married to Mary Magdalene, with the aim of claiming an earthly throne and restoring the line of kings as it was under Solomon. He was only a man, albeit an extraordinary man. For its principle thesis is this: Our Lord Jesus Christ was not divine. The first thing to say about this book is that a Catholic should reject it emphatically. So when John Vennari, editor of Catholic Family News, asked me my views on the novel, I agreed to read it and write a general appraisal. Many are stunned by the work and asking: What should I say to my friends who believe it? What is true and what is false? But the book by author Dan Brown, which climbed to the top of the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there, has become a hot topic in numerous Catholic circles. To pay too much attention to the absurd is to give it a credibility it doesn’t deserve. Ordinarily, a serious Catholic would not waste time reviewing a preposterous fiction like The Da Vinci Code.
