Da Vinci Movie panned by Critics
If the controversial summer movie the Da Vinci Code cannot make it with the reviewers who are lapping up the sun in Cannes, then perhaps we can all go back to more important matters. Yet I would not be too quick to bury this vampire of a movie until the public has seen and rejected the blasphemous contortion of 2000 years of western civilization.
I always find these conspiracy theories involving the Catholic Church humorous. After 2000 years, the Church is still around  and not because of the leadership of men  just read the history of the papacy. The truth surrounding the Catholic Church  and this is what non-believers cannot understand  is that God is still in control. The Holy Spirit is the animus of the Church. And while the Church is both human and divine, God works out salvation history through the humanity of His Son and the Mystical Body of Christ- the Church. Those who do not believe do owe a bit of gratitude to the Church and her existence to Western Civilization. Despite any problems that are due to the fallen state of mankind, the truth is that the blessings of the Catholic imprint on Europe and the world is the reason why we enjoy democracy, economic prosperity and relative peace. We would all do well to thank God for the graces He has bestowed on us and to avoid any book, movie or other type of entertainment that would cause us to divert our attention from the good the true and the beautiful.
It is very sad that certain actors in the movie called the Bible "fiction" in response to the request for a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie. But it is a further example of the anti-Christian and more specifically anti-Catholic nature of the movie. It is also sad to see that Ron Howard has apparently sold soldould for the dollar bill. His weak response and attempt to ignore the serious mistake of making this movie will permanently affect his reputation.
Again the way to respond to this effortHollywoodwood to insult the Christian faith is to see an alternative film this weekend. "Over the Hedge" is a Dreamworks animated picture. Seeing this movie is a vote against the Da Vinci Code. This movement even has a name. It called the "Other-cott."
The idea was dreamed up by Barb Nicolosi and it is a healthy response to the notion that we can not do something to make our voices heard.
