Ignore it. It’s fiction. A novel.
It’s fiction..
Lovely. So now whenever you get on a flight you'll have to put up with another TSA dunderhead with a wand so you can be scanned for antimatter.
You misspelled "Demonses."
Sorting out real membership inquiries from the flood of idiots wanting to join a secret murderous organization must have been a real PITA for a while.
If the Catholic Church is “true”, no mere mortal can harm it. So why the fuss?
Good grief. It’s fiction. Just like the Harry Potter books are fiction. Just like hundreds of thousands of books cataloged in libraries around the world in the “Fiction” section. The wisdom is knowing which battle to pick and this doesn’t constitute so much as a frown much less a battle. The battle is the onslaught of the ROP. The battle is at Notre Dame. The battle is for the lives of innocent babies.
I wouldn’t even bother fighting with him. It only makes him money.
Please, give me a break.
more Catholic bashing
The movie purports that there is a secret society, the Illuminati, which is angry at the Catholic Church because of its alleged anti-science position. The group claims that Galileo is one of its members and they want to blow up the Vatican.
Galileo died almost 150 years before the Illuminati were founded in 1776, but the movie claims 1600.
The Catholic Church was not anti-science and if it wasn’t for them, much of science would not have been preserved.
It’s garbage like this that convinced me to start joining real secret societies.
If Dan Brown had the guts to do the same kind of film about Islam, there would be a price on his head...
The church should not respond at all. This always happens with those stupid Madonna (the singer) controversies. She does something “outrageous” and the Catholic Church feels they have to condemn it publicly. That just brings more attention to these idiots because the media goes bezerk with it.
The church has bigger fish to fry.
I can handle fantasy thrillers that take artistic license, but that's not what this is.
It's an all-out assault on religion, the Catholic Church being an easy target.
Unless this film “Angels & Demons” is a whole lot better than the film version of “The Da Vinci Code” was, don’t think that the Vatican has much to worry about!
Gone are the days when the Vatican could ban a film, and really get a majority of Catholics to stay home. These days that banning just makes a film more exciting viewing as “forbidden fruit”
.
Dan Brown is a hack, his books stink, movies made from his books blow, 6 months after he’s dead nobody will remember who he was, and there’s no such thing as bad publicity. So keeping all those things in mind the best path for the Church is to ignore him completely.
sigh - I wish they’d be more concerned with the real threat of pro-abortion “catholic” politicians, of Obama’s intention to force catholic hospitals to close.
They seem more afraid of a less-than-talented writer of fiction.
It's a book. The same as a movie. 50 million other things to complain/protest about other than a fictional book ...
I'll order my copy when it's available, read it, then place it on my bookshelf with the rest of my books that are FICTION.
Nervous? Hardly! Truth is empowering.
