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”
I think Da Vinci Code grossed around $700 million at the worldwide box office. It may not have been a very good movie, but it sure was profitable!
At least, let’s hope Hanks changed his hair style.
That's because our liberal society confuses a religion like Catholicism (to which followers are required to profess their faith ever week at Mass) with an ethnicity like Judiasm or a culture like Shia. No one is born Catholic, and while one might profess to believe in Catholic doctrine, one can not actually call himself a Catholic unless he is actually following all of the guidelines to the letter on the law. It cracks me up the way liberal journalists these days describe someone as a "practicing Catholic." The term is as redundant as "a caucasian white guy." If the Church banned this film, virtually all of the "Catholics" who went to see it would be people who had no intention of setting foot in a church on any day that wasn't Easter or Christmas.
