What is the Church afraid of? Well let's see, that Jesus while being God incarnate was also a man. A human man, born of woman. That he wanted to father children and experience life on earth like the rest of us mortals.
If this were a possible truth, then the celibacy of the priesthood is a denial of the humanity of a man. That it is an attempt of the Church to set themselves apart from the rest of the flock and be God like when Jesus himself never behaved like a God.
If the premise of the Da Vinci Code was believed to have a shred of truth to it, then the foundation of the Catholic Church, the power structure, that binds it together would have been built on a foundation of lies and therefore would be in danger of crumbling beneath the feet of the Priests and Bishops who would rather protect pedophiles than admit to being human.
