Herr Dobson Attacketh Opie's DaVinci Code |
Christian's take aim at 'Da Vinci Code'
http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060501/ENT06/605010301/1023
NEW YORK — Christians who mostly turned the other cheek
as The Da Vinci Code climbed the best-seller list are
launching a counteroffensive now that Dan Brown's novel
is set to hit the big screen.
As the movie's May 19 opening draws nearer, Roman Catholic
and other Christian leaders are unveiling new Web sites,
taking out full-page ads to "debunk" the work's claims
and speaking out in the media and from the pulpit.
Even during Holy Week, the upcoming film was on the minds
of prominent clerics worldwide.
The archbishop of Canterbury, the Most
Rev. Rowan Williams, denounced the book's
controversial premise that Jesus married
Mary Magdalene and had children, calling it
"the stuff of imagination."
As successful as the book has been - more than
40 million copies have been sold worldwide - Garcia
said the movie will be even more of a "media phenomenon"
because it stars Tom Hanks, is directed by Ron Howard
and will have a single worldwide release.
"A lot more people go to the movies than read books," she said.
Among other Christian responses to the upcoming film:
James Dobson, a leading evangelical and founder of
the conservative advocacy group Focus on the Family,
will deliver two radio broadcasts on The Da Vinci Code,
set for today and Tuesday.

Two authors write that the Gnostic beliefs of

How does Gnosticism connect with the legends
surrounding Mary Magdalene and Jesus?

The term “Ariosophy” (occult wisdom concerning
the Aryans) was coined by Lanz von Liebenfels,
founder of the Order of the New Templars,
in 1915 and replaced “Theozoology” and
“Ario-Christianity” as the label for his
doctrine in the 1920s. It is generally used
to describe Aryan-racist-occult theories.
"Christianity is the prototype of Bolshevism:
the mobilisation by the Jew of the masses of
slaves with the object of undermining society."
-Hitler 1941

Thus guaranteeing the movie's success. Nothing like a bit of controversy
to encourage people to flock to the cinemas - and Christians seem happy to
oblige each and every time.
I wonder if they will ever actually learn?
