I have a question for you.

I'm reading all about a brouhaha about the movie based on The DaVinci Code (which, btw, I have not read) and I'm confused. Apparently part of the premise is that Jesus and Mary Magdalene married and had children.

I know who Jesus is, and I kinda sorta know who Mary Magdalene is. What I don't understand is why it would be a big deal that they married and had kids. I mean, wouldn't people be excited to potentially be a descendant of Jesus?

Obviously, I do not mean to offend by asking these questions. I just don't understand why everyone is all up in arms about this.

Signed,
