Dan Brown's The Do Vinci Code is a modern day quest for the Holy Grail, which undermines the very foundations of Catholicism. In Catholicism there is a definite distinction between the Old Church -- the Church of huge gothic cathedrals, burning incense and incantations sung in Latin and the New Church -- youth groups, parish picnics and Christian rock. The Order, the latest offering from writer-director-producer Brian Helgeland, is a fresh new film about the lingering remnants of the Old.
