Man o Man !! - And just when I was starting to almost think of the RCC as a group with an Ugly Past , But one that is slowly accepting Thier Need to grow Up Already !
& whom I can almost half respect - (Via their Now purely science based teachings & almost 100% acceptance of evolutionary facts + This along with their Honorable distain ,mockery & outright rejection of Turd brained babble belt young earth types , drool tards & all other bizzarro blind creationist bags of *****.

But now I read this !~
Just How can this movie be offensive to them ? & What's gonna happen when someone makes a movie with real honest Historical accounts of their 1st 1500 yrs (Minus all the Hocus Pocus) Imagine a movie HONESTLY depicting the Nicea meetings as nothing more than Politically Driven Top Brass church gatherings where most of the well known biblical Jesus story was actually decided upon (& in many way created. ) for the masses to accept & worship going forward ! (Or face Torture / Death)

How would that seem to them ?
The closest thing to that really happening is maybe "Constantine's Sword " from 2008 , But that only showed a very small piece of thier history & was a tiny independent budgeted film that was barley even released into major theatres (Other than some NY /NJ Art houses)

+ it was slow moving & high brow for most of the major movie going public of 2008
who commonly chose PC-3d animation flicks anyway !( in mabey-1968-1972 a film like that might have actually sold tickets)

But on the other hand , Here In 2009 People who reject Catholicism (& the RCC as well) are the largest & Fastest Growing Segment in the USA - Hands Down !
Some put this group at 23+ % BUT- if you concentrate on the East n West Coast states more, Then its headed to 35 +% in 5-10 years or less ! ! - Thats a whole Hell of a lotta people !!

The Roman Catholic Church needs to get real with the Masses ASAP (& most folks 30 or younger are more than ready)

Otherwise they will just be lumped in the same group with the Zealots & Trogdolights who teach their kids Anti-Science ,-So they can grow up to join the countries fastest Shrinking group of people ! -(The somewhat functioning retarded bigots of the USA)

The Vatican needs to be more concerned with Notre Dame University giving an honorary Doctorate degree to Obama, in direct conflict with the beliefs of the Catholic church. Why is he being allowed to speak at commencement. The students should boycott it.

This movie is going to be good. Ron Howard and Tom Hanks are a great team. Good for Dan Brown for writing about this, its time the public realized the truth. Catholicism is based on Paganism, why do you think Rome is so Pagan? Look at the architecture, etc..the Vatican is a sham, over the years has re-marketed itself as pious people-what an historical joke!!

++"Top church officials strongly objected to "The Da Vinci Code" because it was based on the idea that Jesus married and fathered children and depicted the conservative Catholic movement, Opus Dei, as a murderous cult. "++
But mostly, the Pope is just angry that Ron didn't want to read his screenplay about a high ranking religious figure who is secretly an international man of mystery.

++"Hanks says "Angels & Demons" is a much more fast-paced film than "The Da Vinci Code,"++
Which wouldn't be difficult as your average episode "Watching Paint Dry" is much more fast-paced that "The Da Vinci Code".

++Brown, for his part, said he never expected any of the success. "I wrote the books that I felt like reading, really," he said. ++
Really, is there any joke I could put here that would be any funnier than that? I mean, he actually *wanted* to read books like these so he just had to write them, because nobody out there has been writing crap "thrillers" based on supposition, superstition and a healthy dose of material pulled straight from his sphincter. Okay. Sure.

"Illuminati and Masonic mumbo-jumbo might sell South oif the Mason-Dixon Line". I'm from the south and I believe both books are trash exploitations of popular sentiment that the Catholic Church (and all religion) is evil and have a lot to hide. DaVinci Code was a good mystery story made out of dubiously related 'facts' over a very long period of time, but that's all it was.

The DumbVinci Code and the rest of Dan Brown's toilet paper books aren't worth the paper they are printed on.


Illuminati and Masonic mumbo-jumbo might sell South oif the Mason-Dixon Line, but up North where we went to REAL schools and aren't married to first cousins...we need proof, not innuendo and silly tale-telling.


Stoopid Baptist snake-handlers like to think Catholics are up to no good - that's why they support the Republitrash Party and worship fetuses instead of doing good works for their fellow men.

D-D-D... the story is FICTION. It's MADE UP. It's no more real than the Man in the Iron Mask or Transformers or Saving Private Ryan.

Stoopid hyper-sensitive Christians need to stop reacting to works of fiction with the same hatred and venom that they applied to the Inquisition, the Crusades, the Holocaust, and that minor fracus in Northern Ireland.

The whole church is based on a staged "miracle", so it fits.

The Vatican AND Catholics need to get over it. It's just a movie.

I thought "Angels & Demons" was a far better book than "The DaVinci Code". I hope the film lives up to it's excellence.
