What follows is my opinion, and I hope not to offend many of you, but I can't keep this in any longer...

I think it is regrettable that people do not see the harm in heretical books/movies such as The Da Vinci Code. It is clearly the spirit of the antichrist which works such things, and I can't help but think Satan is smiling about the popularity of this story and laughing at the Christians who blindly believe this is not having any negative effect to those millions who have read it. I alone know about a dozen Christians who have changed their views on Christ simply by reading this book. I can't imagine how many other marginal believers this story has deluded and has caused them to question who Jesus Christ is. For shame to those who have read it and will go see it in the theaters.

I hope and pray the Vatican officially condemns it. Will it sell more books or cause it to be more popular? Maybe. But at least the rest of the world will know that Christians consider this book a lie. We should not fear heresies, but more importantly we should not fear condeming them. Its remarkable how cartoons of Mohammed can cause such an uprising, but a story which claims historical evidence that Jesus was not divine, that Him and Mary Magdalene deceived the world and had a child, and that the entire Church from the beginning was a complete lie and coverup ends up becoming a sensational hit, rakes in millions upon millions of dollars, and stands to make countless more in the future.

For shame to those who have read it. For shame to those who have enjoyed it and recommended it. And for shame to those who will go and see it at the movies. Perhaps by believing in their own strength of faith, which is obviously stronger than mine since I get repulsed just thinking about reading it and confusing my weak mind, they fail to see how many of their fellow Christians will come to doubt Christ and Him crucified by filling their eyes and their minds with Satan's entertainment and his seeds of doubt.

The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness. (Luke 11:34)

Forgive me for being so blunt, but I expected a different reaction on Monachos than what I have read.
