#5 Da Vinci Code

In the Da Vinci Code religion is one of the main points of the novel. Mary Magdalene supposedly slept with Jesus, which contradicts what the Catholic faith says. There is a sector of the church Opus Dei who are trying to find the Holy Grail which suposedly contains information about the Mary Magdalene scandle and destroy the information about it. A college professor, Robert Langdon, is faced with the choice of revealing that the information is true about Magdalene and that the church has been telling the world false information. He decides to write a book about it but doesn't say he has proof that the scandle is real. An intresting piont is brought up in the book in that many Catholics know Jesus slept with Magdalene but still believe in their faith. This is intresting because alot of Catholics have read this book yet still believe. Also, The Church has told many people not to read this novel because it is full of lies, and in the novle it talks about how the church has tried to cover up this secret.
