BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Call for Da Vinci 'adult rating':
Spokesman Marc Carroggio said: "Any adult can distinguish reality from fiction. But you cannot expect a child to make proper judgements"...
Mr Carroggio added: 'Merely adding a disclaimer that says 'fiction' is not enough.'
'Although the story is absurd and at times somewhat humorous, it produces a hateful image of the institution and it is well known that hateful images like this produce feelings of hatred in those who lack a critical sense.'"Absolutely, I'm right there behind anyone who wants to help children learn the difference between fact and fiction - perhaps Opus Dei might like to
start here?
And I definitely oppose anything that promotes hatred of a group simply because they exist. However,
Opus Dei and the rest of the Catholic hierarchy first needs to get their own house in order on that score too.
The Da Vinci Code is due for release in May - I can't wait.
