Donahue said in his statement: "John Calley, a co-producer of The Da Vinci Code, has admitted that the film is anti-Catholic. Ron Howard used to be one of the directors that I respected, but no more.

They actually did a disclaimer for the 'The Merchant of Venice'? How pathetic.

I was channel surfing and came upon an E! True Hollywood Story about the show "Happy Days" and they had a clip from where the cast was going to a softball game and Ron Howard opined about the only solution is a "one world government".
He grew up in Hollywood and probably raised in the anti Judeo-Christian leanings of Hollywood.

I have no problem with his stance.
The book is fiction,the movie is fiction .
A disclaimer is not needed.

It is a badly written book involving a tabloid theology that is simply silly. It has no merit and has less substance than the author's first book "Angels and Demons" which itself was really an awful but fanciful story that followed a similar story line. You have to have a pretty fragile faith, as a Christian, if you take offense at the lame plot of this script.

Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine!
All this publicity is the greatest thing that ever happened to a director and his movie.
Kind of reminds me of "The Passion"...it didn't even need an advertising budget.
Ron Howard's movie won't either, at this rate.
Way to go, Ron!

I'm not Catholic so maybe I don't understand the personal aspect of being offended by the book or the movie. There was a lot that I didn't agree with in the book - but I thought it was a really fun book to read.
Just before reading it , I had read Unveiling Mary Magdalene
By: Liz Curtis Higgs, right before the Da Vinci code. The first part which is a novel was fairly lame - but her indepth study of Mary Magdalene was just amazing. So it was with eyes wide open that I enjoyed DaVinci code - it should take much more than a fictional (plagiarized) book to shake our faith.
And as mentioned on other threads and articles - can you imagine what would happe if it were the muslims that felt their faith was shown in a poor light.
