catholics protest the da vinci code

Started by Trickster4 pages

Why do they need money?

well those lawers for the scandals do get expensive

✅ 💃

😂 Idiots... any religion that's scared they'll lose believers to a film is a waste of time 😛 Let people make up their own mind, if there is a mass-conversion then surely that says something about the religion, and possibly the simplicity of it's members.

What is this, Nazi Germany? hitler where alternative views are forbidden?

at times it does seem that way friggin nazi's

I've got nothing against Catholics or any other religion... but I dislike religions that are ignorant of other faiths, oppose people hearing alternatives and such... it's like brainwashing fear

I can bearly understand the letter.I mean I know about that book and I can see why they are protesting againt it but it is a worst of time.JM

how can you see the point of protesting it, its all FICTION. They should do something better with their time and money and try and help people in need rather then getting fat off of the faithful

gettin there.

There is nothing in the da vinci code that speaks badly against the catholic religoun. It is nothing more than the exploitation of an age old theory. It really isnt even that good of a story, just a typical mystery with a gimmick

It's waste....not worst....I guess.

I don't even see why anyone reads that book anyways...I think books are only worth reading when they are still considered great after lets say 10 years (I know if everyone would do it like me the books couldn't possibly be considered great...but it works for me 😄)

your right though, most modern books are a grosse waste of time. if there is anything more flooded than the entertainment business, it is writing.

the organization that printed the letter clearly just wants money. there is no way in hell that they can stop this movie from being made. too much money is to be made out of this movie. no one can stop corporate america.

they could protest or boycott it in the theatres, but that just makes people more cuurious, and evrybody would be wondering what the catholics could possibly hide about their religion.

Well if they make money I doubt they will care about their religion bunch of hypocrite bastards...

And why would they even want to stop it? I really can not understand the movie has parts of truth in it and fiction. Most of it however is still an opinion, although drawn out of facts its still just a conclusion based upon those things. Nothing certain, you would think people would realise that.

Besides if you don't want this movie to be seen then don't see it, they have no right to say what other people can or can not see.

I agree....I mean he even states it in his letter that it might possibly become one of the biggest Films ever ,now I don'T agree with it but just how stupid would columbia be if they would stop making such a sure money maker as the Da Vinci Code. No way they will not do it.

Yeah that is true but still I belive there are good pieces of literature out there just the label "New York Times Best Seller" doesn't do it for me.

i'm catholic...and this book is just fiction i have no idea why is everyone doing sucha big deal about it 😬

I was raised Catholic, but now I'm sort of indifferent. I'm not really sure how to explain it. I like the idea of having someone there to sort of watch over you, but there ended up being a lot of things about the religion that I just plain didnt like.

and the whole thing with the da vinci code, is that it openly disproves many basic beliefs for the catholics and christians. Even though its fiction, there is a lot of truth mixed into it that have really begun to think and question their own beliefs. I've never read it, but I can see why religious people are mad.

But you dont need money to protest. thats just ridiculous. theyre probably just afraid theyre going to lose contributions from the followers they lose.

in my opinion any book that gets me or atleast the reader thinking then I believe that it should be considered a good read.

DVC got me thinking thats why I like it so much. I'm sure there are many people out there that it wouldn't do much for. Thats just my opinion.

If it's such a big deal, maybe it's not fiction.

its a big deal because it LOOSELY based on information that may or may not be facts.

They just don't realize that they are only giving it more credibility by making such a big friggin fuss over it.

There are so many books out there that refute the Bibles view of who Jesus was. People have to just think for themselves...Do their own homework...They will have to do the same with the movie.
