Feminism is simply the idea that all people, men AND women, are equal in God’s eyes. While there are many points of controversy in Dan Brown’s book, one message rings true; the book affirms Jesus’ teaching that all people are equal in God’s eyes.

 This film is a great example of how pop culture can give us an opportunity to talk about very serious and substantive issues. Our hope is that people will see this film and be moved to talk about the ways religion has touched their lives and the role religion can play in creating a more just world for women.

Are you agreeing with the content of The Da Vinci Code and therefore challenging the Catholic Church’s teachings and policies?
