Yesterday on the Laura Ingraham Show, she had on Father Robert Sirico, of the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty. They discussed The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei, the Gnostic Gospel of Judas and other Gnostic Gospels.
The discussion covered how information in The Da Vinci Code is untrue. It also covered how the Catholic organization Opus Dei was misrepresented. Opus Dei even mentions the following on their web site about The Da Vinci Code. (Best read in full.)
The Da Vinci Code, the Catholic Church and Opus Dei
|
One caller into the show was a Baptist, who like myself is not Catholic, but wants it to be known that twisted information like this is an affront to the Christian faith as a whole. Not just Catholics.
Father Sirico mentioned how the Gnostic Gospel of Judas is so far from the foundations of the Christian faith, that it was not even considered as much as other Gnostic Gospels. When church scholars determined the Gnostic Gospels were not true scripture. He also mentioned, that Leftists hoping to find some support for their causes in the Gnostic Gospels might end up disappointed. Although they are not true to the Christian faith, they don’t serve the Leftist’s agenda either.
Also Laura read a statement from Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze, who mentions that “other religions” would not take affronts to their faith with just talking. Let’s see if Dan Brown writes a Muhammad Code! We know what the blood thirsty Islamist did to the last maker of a film they took issue with.

Something I don’t understand is why anyone would read the Da Vinci code thiking it was anything other than fiction! I haven’t read it or seen the movie, but I might. It sounds like a good read and is kept in the fiction section of bookstores.

The book mentions some things are “fact”. See: http://www.danbrown.com/secrets/bizarre_facts/davinci_code.html
One key so called “fact” is the whole matter of the “Priory of Sion” which has been found to be bogus. Also the book mentions that the Opus Dei engage in “corporal mortification”, but the Opus Dei themselves say that is not true.
