    What price your beliefs ?

    The controversy surrounding the novel (The Da Vinci Code) is addressed in a new exhibition at Winchester Cathedral, where two scenes from the upcoming movie version were filmed.

    Cracking the Code, say organisers, will offer the opportunity "to make your own mind up on The Da Vinci Code, learn about some of the mistakes in the novel and understand more about the great spiritual mystery at the heart of Christian belief".

    The exhibition's curator, Professor Michael Wheeler, will give a talk on Monday in which he will discuss the "inaccuracies and absurdities" in Brown's "sensationalist thriller".

    The Cathedral was paid a reported £20,000 location fee to appear in the film, released in the UK on 19 May.

    Jesus (pardon the pun), the guy couldnt buy better advertising!

    EVERYONE knows its a work of fiction...why continue the charad of "disproving" it because all that does is advertise his book even more!

    However, seeing the guy just won his plagerism case, it will be intesting to see how his next book pans out because if that turns up as nothing more than a pile of dung AND is VERY different in style from his first book then I wonder if he will be hit with another plagerism case?
