Announcing: Our Lady of Victory Rally of Reparation

The campaign against The Da Vinci Code is not over.

To conclude this epic campaign against The Da Vinci Code, Catholics nationwide will join together in a huge, massive, and final act of reparation in front of Sony’s offices in Manhattan, NY, and Culver City, CA. Wow! Rallies on each coast will take place simultaneously. Sony is responsible for producing and distributing the blasphemous movie.  We are now rushing invitations to 120,000 Catholics. As a core member and organizer of this historic protest, it is important that you attend Our Lady of Victory Rally if at all possible.  I really hope you can make it.  May God bless you and your family. With prayers,  John Ritchie,  TFP/America Needs Fatima
www.tfp.org

P.S. – Some protest organizers are chartering buses to the event. Please consider this option. The annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. gathers over 100,000 people largely because pro-life groups charter buses.

Please join…

Our Lady of Victory
Rally of Reparation

Manhattan, New York
June 24, 2006

Top Vatican Official Urges Da Vinci Code Protests

Reuters reported that Archbishop Amato, Secretary of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, called for organized protests against The Da Vinci Code film similar to the demonstrations organized against the 1988 Martin Scorcese film, The Last Temptation of Christ  (Reuters, April 28, 2006).   Among other insults to Our Lord and the Catholic Faith, the movie suggests Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married, and had a child – brutal blasphemy!  Show your rejection for The Da Vinci Code. Join a massive peaceful and prayerful rally of reparation in front of the Sony Building in New York City on Saturday, June 24. (Violence forbidden.) We’ll pray the Rosary and sing hymns. Catholic leaders will address the crowd.   Bring friends. Bring family. Charter a bus.

Because the DaVinci Code didn't get enough free advertising already?

Very interesting. Every time someone mentions Sinkspur's false posting history Onyx runs to the rescue. Are you joined at the hips (or pelvis)?

To: Spiff; sinkspur

Knock off the deacon crap. Argue your point on its own merit.

You've become quite the hall monitor.

When that is her own self-appointed defend Sinkspur role.

And tells others it's stupid to hit abuse but it's OK when the Queen of Bushbotism does it

That remark is as stupid as they come. And yeah, the abuse button is going down. DU couldn't say it better than you. Your hitting abuse was truly stupid.

And she claims to be a good Catholic but posts profanities:

I guess they want to be sure the movie keeps up it's box office

So far the free advertising on the part of the 'protesters' has brought in 171.9 Mil in the US alone (another 408.8 Mil worldwide), I'm sure Sony welcomes any and all publicity another 'protest' will bring. Maybe the church can start protesting again when the DVD comes out, to ensure strong sales then, as well.

As horrible as McCain is, he's better than any Democrat running.

Well, you were the one you quoted one sentence of mine out of context - may I suggest you return to the thread topic of "The DaVinci Code" and "Catholics nationwide will join in front of Sony in Manhattan, NY, and Culver City, CA"?

LoL

And they don't seem to yet to even have a hint at Brown's other book : Angels & Demons with Hanks character, Langdon, once again in the thick of it. I believe it will also hit the silver screens with Hanks sallying forth.

I read it some years back -

Great reviews: (a couple below) on this link:

http://www.danbrown.com/novels/angels_demons/reviews.html

WELL PLOTTED AND EXPLOSIVELY PACED. Crammed with Vatican intrigue and hi-tech drama, Brown's tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up until the final revelation. Packing the novel with sinister figures worthy of a Medici, Brown sets an explosive pace through a Michelin-perfect Rome. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

ONE HECK OF A GOOD READ Angels & Demons is a no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the-stops, breathless tangle of a thriller -- think Katherine Neville's The Eight (but cleverer) or Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (but more accessible). Brown manages to hurl the reader headlong into an almost surreal suspension of disbelief. "Brain candy" it may be. But my! It's tasty. AMAZON.COM EDITOR'S PICK

plot

The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy... the Catholic Church. Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces he has hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival. Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair... a secret location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation. An explosive international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war..."

**************************************************

I can hardly wait - the uproar will be deafening.

I am just amused that none of the protesters have even mentioned A & D - nor all the other NON-fiction books that tell of Brown's "ideas" - ideas that have been around for 2000 years.

It would seem not many people read or research these days. That also amazes me. As a writer/artist and biblioholic, the book stores were my candy stores, But now, the Internet! The world at my fingertips! GOOGLE is my researcher supreme.

From my home office, I can browse the Louvre, the Vatican art Collection, the libraries and museums of the world that I can't travel to in person. I can afford to buy books I can't (otherwise) afford to buy.

Can't wait for the A&D movie - this is gonna be fun. ;o)

Television and the liberal news media took care of that already. It's even on the travel channel.

Not sure. I guess I felt the fuss over this movie was dying down pretty fast and it is now already passe to even say you saw it or are going to see it.

My inclination would be to just let it die the death it so richly merits.
