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.

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."

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.
