The Church isn’t harmed by it and so part of me thinks it’s much ado about nothing. Your comment, at least “why the fuss” could be said about the outrage that accompanied “The Last Temptation of Christ,” “Religulous (sp?)” and practically any movie/TV show about conservatives.
In fact, why comment on or correct the news at all? So what if the MSM lies about abortion or gun control or anything in which you believe. No “mere mortal” can harm the truth, so why worry about?
Imagine someone made a movie about this site that purports all kinds of crazy stuff in a fashion that your typical moron would believe. Would Free Republic be harmed? No. However, would there be an element of people on this board who would feel obliged to attack it, poke holes in it, etc? Absolutely.
I also think that it’s part of a marketing campaign for a movie.
In my head, that film was exactly what I was comparing "Angles & Demons" to.
When "The Last Temptation of Christ" went to video, our priest rented it and actually used for one our adult religion classes. There was so much hoopla about it, he figured better we look at it and deal with it in class as a group. We all came to the same conclusion on our own: "The Last Temptation of Christ" was a really fine film on the experience of what a mortal Christian suffers through in life, yet it bore absolutely no resemblance to our knowledge and experience of our Lord Jesus Christ & His Life."
