I really enjoyed reading the DaVinci code and it made me sit down and question some aspects of my Christian faith. Without even delving into the supposed historical and factual inaccuracies teh book is purported to have, I can say why I think some of the thinking is flawed. Did Jesus marry Mary Magdalene, i think not, why? I dont know I cant prove or disprove it. Teh bible gives the impression that he did not and I believe it. Unless someone altered it but that's another story. The book claims that the reason the bible was altered in regards to Mary Magdalene ,is because society was largely patriachal and they didnt want to elevate a woman to that status. My dispute is, yes society at large has been very patriachal, but if u look at the Catholic church, they went to such great lengths to elevate Mary to an almost dem-god status. Some Catholics worship and adore , or as they say "venerate" Mary even more than they do directly to God. Now, why would a church go to such great lengths to preserve their "manliness" but at the same time elevate another woman to such great heights. That seems somewhat conflicting to me. Just a thought
