I haven't really heard much concerning people denouncing the book, not like they are with the movie.
I'm not opposed to monarchy per se, provided it is loyal to the One G-d and not to some localized, enculturated deity (although the first king in history, Nimrod, was an evil man). As a matter of fact, as a Noachide, I believe in a "temporal" Messiah King.
The problem is those Catholics who can't seem to picture the existence of chr*stianity without the medieval "theocracy" of chr*stendom when chr*stianity began some three hundred years prior to any such thing and was originally took an apocalyptic view of the governing establishments.
Not all that is true is required to be accepted with Faith
There will be no further Revelation
66 "The Christian economy, therefore, since it is the new and definitive Covenant, will never pass away; and no new public revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ."28 Yet even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries.
67 Throughout the ages, there have been so-called "private" revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ's definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church.
Christian faith cannot accept "revelations" that claim to surpass or correct the Revelation of which Christ is the fulfillment, as is the case in certain non-Christian religions and also in certain recent sects which base themselves on such "revelations".
It really isn't that straightforward; otherwise, we Catholics, who wrote every single word of the New Testament, would have you as a member of the Body of Christ
You really are confused: the Holy Spirit is responsible for the entire Bible.

The Apostles and Martyrs believed that the earth was flat. You recall that it was not necessary to Stephen. Really wasn’t a problem.
Catholic bump. This movie sounds horrendous.
