LouisvilleFan Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 [quote name='musturde' post='986503' date='May 21 2006, 01:41 PM'] I was kinda feeling the same way untill i looked at his other posts. I think he was being sarcastic in this one. [/quote] Yeah, that was definitely sarcasm Sometimes I like to say "I'm not Christian, I'm Catholic" in jest, partly because it is a different culture within Catholicism from most of the Protestant churches and also because there are, unfortunately, some Christians who don't consider us to be in the body of Christ.

God the Father Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I saw the movie last Saturday. It was pretty lame, if you ask me. Can't say the same thing about the French detective lady though eh? Yeah, this guy knows what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Tom Hanks' hairstyle in this film is intrinsically disordered and goes against natural law. This in itself is sufficient reason alone not to see this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofca Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 [quote]I'm not gonna waste my money on a bunch of lies.[/quote] Folks, this is a movie based on a novel. The author even calls it a novel. [b]novel[/b] 1 n. 1. A fictional prose narrative of considerable length, typically having a plot that is unfolded by the actions, speech, and thoughts of the character. My point is that this is obviously a work of fiction. Those who believe it to be true are both delusional and far too few (to my knowledge) to have any impact on the teachings of the Church. So, why protest? Is it really a threat to anything? Or, is it simply a conspiracy theory formed into a dramatic fictional story for entertainment purposes? Is Catholisism really under attack? I normally don't respond to stuff like this, but the issue really captured my attention when I saw a protestor standing on the corner here in Steubenville holding a giant sign that said "I reject The Da Vinci Code". When I saw her standing there I wasn't too surprised because . . .well, this is Steubenville. However, at the same time my heart sank because there are so many atrocities in the world that are worthy of protest, and this movie isn't one of them. I personally think it is positive that the movie stirred up a ruckus and got people's attention, but the story is far from an attack on anyone or anything and shouldn't be treated as such. Again, its fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, people are upset because at the begining of the book Dan brown says (from my copy of the book ) [quote] [size=20]FACT:[/size] [size=5] The Priory of Sion --a European secret society founded in 1099-- is a real organization. In 1975 Paris's Bibliothequ Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets, identifying numerious members of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci. The Vatican prelature known as Opus Dei is a deeply devout Catholic sect that has been the topic of recent controversy tdue to reports of brainswashing, coarcion, and a dangerous practice known as "corporal mortification." Opus Dei has just completed construction of a $47 million National Headquearters at 243 Lexington Avenue in New York City. [b]All Descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate[/b][/size][/quote] Although the book is fiction, there are people who would actually read a fictional book like this and consider everything said about the Church fact. I'm not saying there isn't reason to be mad at Dan Brown. I will say that if people ignore it, then the many people who question about it won't have their questions answered adequately. The people who publically protest it, will just spark more attention to a bad film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrdero Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 [quote]Diamond writes: It's not a bad movie if you watch it as a movie. Ron Howard is a skileld director. McKellen and Hanks are skilled actors. It's enjoyable. Just don't take it too seriously.[/quote] Unfortunately none of these skills are present on the screen. I just saw it and it is a bad movie but the information was fascinating and the message was reaffirming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have read the book, and have seen this movie. And to tell you the truth, they are really not worth your money. Its personally a waste, the movie had true facts that Jesus was alive but the facts that they claimed were true could not be backed by a historical basis like the marriage and consumation of Jesus to St. Mary Magdalene. These issue are a farce to the Holy Gosples of God and can't even be proven. This movie and book is a farce and nothing more a mere rainy afternoon entertaiment.
