Plus, of course, the author claiming it is 'completly accurate' is just less-than-harmless provocation.

"All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this
novel are accurate."
The quote is from the book. The italics are mine.
Several years ago I read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" (I think that was the title), which is one of many books that discuss the theory that Brown incorporated into his novel. Based on what I know about history (a great deal), and the history of the Catholic Church I grew up in, I think that theory has a great deal going for it.
But whatever one thinks of it, it's all a matter of faith. What one believes is a very personal thing, a very private thing.
My mother wants nothing to do with Brown's novel. I'm about halfway finished with it and find it to be a great story.
