Very occasionally. You are talking about the exception, not the norm. You are giving the DaVinci Code too much credit. It isn't like Dan Brown is Shakespere or Walt Whitman.

........doesn't matter if he's shakespeare or not..... da vinci code is not the norm. it is/has been extremely popular for about 4 years and i am not giving dan brown too much credit.....i know 8 year olds who are reading this book, thats not the norm....and its not very occasionally, its lOts of times in history when ONE popular book affects ideas and the way ppl live...

I'm going to have to second Cam here. Frankly, this thread is getting a little scary.

well that[i] iis[/i] scary..all i'm sayin- don't underestimate the power of the media on ppl...burning a book will get us nowhere...and honestly even if it is an interesting read, thats kinda like saying the movie dogma has a good screenplay, wheer alanis morisette plays God...it may be a real real good book/good movie, but if its outright against our faith we shoulden't really advocate it-- -read it sure, if you want to and there is nothing better to read, whatever- you know its not true so it doesn't matter really cuz u know the truth... we should just recognize its harmless to us maybe but not to the majority of catholics...
