2 Yrs Too Late, Vatican Bans Da Vinci Code
Twenty million copies have been sold. The book has been translated into forty-four languages. A day late and a dollar short, the Vatican has now officially condemned The Da Vinci Code and asks true Catholics not to read or buy the book.
Apparently, they're alarmed at the growing number of tourists going to Rome on a Da Vinci code holiday. They might also be scared that even more people will be clued into alternative Christian history because the book is being made into a movie starring Tom Hanks.
