Some heresies never die...

...and Gnosticism is one of them. My evil twin brother, Ron Howard, is trying to bring new life into them in The Da Vinci Code. Frankly, the book was terrible - a full 10% of it, perhaps, consists of nothing more than mind-numbingly idiotic lectures given by two of the main characters. I don't expect the movie to be much better.

So do your brain a favor - forget everything you thought you learned from the book, and check out the following:

1. Opus Dei's official response.
2. The USCCB's "Jesus Decoded" site
3. The Catholic Answers report on TDVC.
