The Roman Catholic Church in Italy has spoken out against what it says are "shameful and unfounded lies" in the best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Archbishop of Genoa, broke the church's official silence on the controversial book

It's interesting that the Church would speak out about a 'novel', a work of fiction. Or is it?

There are people who think it is fact because it is a book. A person I know suggested I read it to get "the real truth about Jesus and the Church". I haven't read it yet.

There have been plenty of people speaking out since it came out. This is nothing new.

Re your tagline: "Hero's" should be "heroes", no capital, no apostrophe, -es ending. My heroes have always been cowboys.

Helpful hint from the Grammar Maven - have a great day!
