[a fool in paradise]

Brown this week announced that his follow-up novel to "The Da Vinci Code" will be released in September and is titled "The Lost Symbol."

How about a conspiracy novel about the machinations of the liberal bigots in Hollywood franchising hate to keep regurgitating the myth that Catholicism and Christianity in general are a hoax deliberately concocted by subversives bent on some murky form of domination.

Note that the author is putting out yet another book in the "series". James Bond was a character in thrillers. He faced a different foe every time. It wasn't always the Church.

Note too that Yahoo made sure to get the release date (and stars) ink near the top of the article. "Controversy" was designed to general press, not boycotts.

“It wasn’t always the Church.”

Guess you haven’t read the books. The *Church* was the villian in neither.
