About three years ago I was asked by the ladies council of my home parish, Our Lady of Angels, Woodbridge, Virginia, to lead a study that would address the issues raised by Dan Brown's novel, The DaVinci Code. While that study was able to assist a small group of concerned Catholics, it could do little more!Since that time I've watched as many articles and books have been published to assist Christians - both Catholics and non-Catholics - in their efforts to respond to Mr. Brown's historically false and spiritually dangerous claims regarding Jesus Christ and the Church. One or two have also attempted to coordinate a more widespread parish or congregation based response.
The DaVinci Antidote is one such comprehensive resource. It is a coherent Catholic response that enables parishes everywhere to tackle the issues raised by The DaVinci Code. I hope that you would consider using these resources in your parish!
BTW - If you are able to coordinate a parish-wide response, you might want to consider purchasing a few copies of The DaVinci Deception and giving them to your friends.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the link to the USCCB sponsored website. I was encouraged by its calm tone and forthright presentation. I hope many will use and benefit from it!
In Christ,
Vaughn
