But from what I heard, it seems that (according to the story) someone uncovers a secret plot by the Vatican, to cover the "real story", namely, that Jesus survived, and had descendants. Now, if I understood this plot part correctly, I see three potential problems for the Church.

The idea that Jesus survived. He was supposed to have died for our sins.

And, finally, the idea that He had children - it seems that this goes against the ideas of some people about "purity".

Well I've read the book and yes that about sums it up. But its a work of fiction. Problem is that the work of fiction seems more logical than the Vatican's fantasy..errr...I mean what the Vatican believes (or at least what it claims is truth).

To me it's mind boggling that 99.8% of the worlds population still belives in some supernational 'guy in the sky' type of religion.
