The "Da Vinci Code" History Seminar

Ack! Aaaaaack! Ack ack ack!

Opus Dei 101 -- Investigating a “history” class.

. . . the point of this course is to explain how The DaVinci Code, the Dan Brown novel that claims Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a baby and that Opus Dei is a murderous conspiracy charged with protecting the Divine Descendents, is like, you know, historical and stuff.

What really made me pause however was this line: "The Priory of Sion actually existed since 1099, and Opus Dei frightfully exists right here in the U.S.A., today!"

Nooooooooo!

Good read. Check it out. We're only going to hear more about this nonsense as the (shudder) movie approaches; I highly recommend arming yourself with a copy of The DaVinci Hoax by Carl Olsen and Sandra Miesel, though De-Coding Da Vinci by Amy Welborn is worthy as well.
