Magdalene was mis-characterized for almost

"It is surprising to many that a Church leader like Cardinal
Bertone would suddenly be speaking out
against this novel more than
two years after its publication, and so long after so many Catholic
readers have bought it, read it, and engaged in the discussion of it. Design enhancements
have
caused contract volume estimates to rise to $95 million over the
next eight years.

"Interestingly, at least one emerging leader
of the Church,
Monsignor Jose Maria Pinheiro, recently nominated to be the Bishop of
Sao Paulo
, one of the largest Catholic communities in the world, has
taken an explicitly different view about
the Da Vinci Code from that
of Cardinal Bertone. That seems
to me a much more reasonable position

As with most official critiques of books
and movies, Cardinal Bertone's recent comments will
probably have the
opposite of their intended effects, making even more people inside and
outside
the Catholic Church interested in experiencing what he has now
suggested should be considered a forbidden
fruit.
This new swirl of controversy may have something to do with next
year's upcoming movie
version of The Da Vinci Code, which will
inevitably be seen by many more people than even the millions
who read
the book. Nor is the call for a ban likely to put a
