Sorry to bring up the topic again, I just find some lines quite good to share.

The group believes that “condemnations, boycotts and protests” are counterproductive, as they lead “into the trap laid by Dan Brown: that the church is on the defensive because it is engaged in a cover up.”

Catholics and Christians who are strong in their faith can take in a "Da Vinci" book or film as entertainment alone and not find their faith shaken.The same cannot be said for those easily misled or poorly catechized, people whom we may meet in our everyday lives.
