The archbishop told Il Giornale: "The book is everywhere. There is a very real risk that many people who read it will believe that the fables it contains are true."

Am I the only one who sees the GLARING IRONY in this statement?

The religious equivalent of Whitley Streiber.

[Skooz]

No.

No, pray tell, what exactly ARE you thinking? Is it the parallel to reading and believing modern publick screwel science and history textbooks?

[EA_Man]

No I caught that too.

As a Christian I'm disappointed that the Catholic Church doesn't use this opportunity to open a dialogue and communicate Truth rather than just oppose.

A priest friend of mine put it well: the only fact in "The DaVinci Code" is that the Louvre is in Paris.

...but while it is obviously fable that Christ had a child with Mary; it is also palpably plausible that he had a very special relationship with her. After all, according to every one of the synoptic Gospels as well as the Gospel of John, she is the first person to see the risen Jesus!

Yes, ironic and very funny. Who writes his material?
