Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Archbishop of Genoa, has broken the Catholic Church's official silence on the book. ..

..The cardinal told an Italian newspaper: "It astonishes and worries me that so many people believe these lies."

Cardinal Bertone told Il Giornale: "The book is everywhere. There is a very real risk that many people who read it will believe that the fables it contains are true."



Oops...sorry, i thought he referring to the bible not the Dan Brown book. :D

Well, the cardinal is not exactly wrong there. I've personally met people who believe that The DaVinci Code contains serious history.

Yep, me too - I've even heard them arguing about it. Nothing is wierder than reality, I guess.

Well put. Ironically, I suspect that the belief in these lies is higher among the religiously inclined.

Oh, I don't know. I suspect that conspiracy addicts are pretty much non-exclusive. Take a look at 9/11. :)
