catholics protest the da vinci code

I'm Catholic and after I read the Da Vinci Code... I didnt pull a complete 180 on my faith... if anything it made me open to other possibilities. I know what I believe, and what I dont. Jesus was as much Man as he is God.
What was written in The DVC was completely possible, and its completley impossible...

This was a book! lol and people forget, it was a fictional book. it says so on the side binding. I think all this protesting and hoo haa, just adds to the negative views people already have about us Catholics. Please people remember there are still some good ones out there.

with that said...May the Sauce be with you 😄

Whenever someone makes a remortely religious movie, there will be protests. Its a silly thing to be protesting about - if people leave their faith based on the movie, then they all had doubts about their faith long before the movie.

exactly, and to take it further...

if they are so damn paranoid that a product of hollywood could destroy the validity of their religion...then they themselves dont really have faith in what they believe.

christianity's very nature is to survive through persecution, lies, corrupt power etc. why do they think that NOW a stupid 2 hour flick can destroy all that? they obviously dont place much stock in what they claim to have deep faith in.

*disclaimer: by 'they' i refer to those christians who whine and moan about this, and not ALL christians.

I couldn't agree more.

I was once an altar-boy and felt very strongly about my faith but they rarely had me do services. I think it was the way I looked, because I like hard rock and metal and you could tell by looking at me. I had my ears pierced and had long hair...I just in general didn't look the part of a devout catholic. That in the end is what pushed me away from the church. It does say that no-1 has the right to judge any1 else, but thats exactly what they were doing. They were judging me by what I looked like not by who I was, just because I didn't have the preppy hair and what not (I still dressed up, tie and $h!t) they didn't like the idea of putting me out in the open. Anyway I'm done yammering on, but thats the whole reason I'm no longer too religious. It wasnt some book that changed my views it was the church its self

the catholic church...asking for money?...arent they one of the richest institutions in the world as it is?

I do think so but I don't care enough to look it up

Yeah but in the long run I think it helped me. Rather then go with what other people say I should or shouldn't look like or act or anything it just made me be who I wanna be. I don't hold it against the entire church but it just ruined it for me. I guess you could say that I'm spiritual now rather then catholic or anything else. I just don't think people should be blinded by their church, they should look at everything as a whole and just take from it what they will. Anyway just my 2 cents.

Load of bullshit if you ask me.

I mean first, it does not bash at all catholicism, in fact at the end they even say something about how they were blaming the church for what was happening but it was all really

Spoiler:
teabing's

so basically the whole problem is just ridiculous.

This is so dumb...it's a book that's being made into a movie, they can do what they want but it'll still be made into a movie 🙄 if they have such a problem then they don't need to read it/see it.

Too true Ice...the avg catholic doesnt.

You're also dead on about the book not bashing the religion. Isn't it funny how they opposite is true? I think so. Anyway THIS THREAD OWN JOO!!!!

What DON'T Catholics protest?! Next..
