In anticipation of the release of the upcoming film adaptation of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, the Catholic Church in America has begun a campaign designed to address the myths and misrepresentations that apparently (I've never read it) abound in the novel. The website for the campaign is entitled "Jesus Decoded," and I haven't had much chance to surf through the whole thing, but it looks really good.
The Jesus Decoded campaign is part of the Catholic Communication Campaign. This is precisely the kind of thing I've been thinking the US Bishops have been needing to do for a long time, namely, to address all the hogwash that's spouted in the media and popular culture about the Church on a daily basis. This is certainly a step in the right direction. I'm excited to see what they come out with the future.
