I don't know what to think about this. But it seems to me that if one's faith is so weak as to be shaken by a novel/movie, then it probably wasn't really faith at all.

I consider myself a believeing Catholic. I'm college educated, generally smart, brought up in the faith, good parents, etc... But when I was young, dumb, and impressionable, I fell away from the faith too. Mostly due to apathy, a more hedonistic lifestyle, and the influence of my equally idiotic peers. You can't write people off and forget about them because their faith isn't perfect.

If some heretic was polluting the faith and influencing Christians, do you think St. Paul would have let it slide?
