That's because there are an awful lot of ignorant people out there who can't find Louisiana on a map, believe that aliens frequent trailer parks, and that we fought in Iraq for oil.
Chances are, those same people don't know anything about history before 1960 and will tend to ascribe far more importance in their minds to a glitzy Hollywood production than a dusty old book their grandparents read.
Even though I'm a baptist, I can see why the Catholic Church would mobilize resources to educate people about why this movie is bogus. I'm sure other churches are doing the same. I know no one in my little Missionary Baptist church is going to go see the movie!

I know no one in my little Missionary Baptist church is going to go see the movie! I hope you are also insulating them from history - especially the history of the early church and all the centuries since. Wouldn't want them to think for themselves. Dangerous!
My faith in GOD and JESUS (Not necessarily in churches) has been strengthened immensely by independent research, reading and study.
I am immediately suspicious when someone tells me what to and what NOT to read...as if my mind is inferior and needs to be led by them

Yes, indeed... let's not let people think for themselves. This is how the Church has maintained power for centuries.

Good idea, that gives them more time to burn books instead.
