Thought-provocative questions designed to help people live happier and more
useful lives by becoming more aware of the spiritual principles that
operate in the universe and putting them into daily practice. However, by
calling for a ban of the book, the Cardinal inadvertently lends
credence to Dan Brown's thesis that powerful people in the Church
don't want the faithful to hear certain ideas. There is a strict
prohibition on discussion of papal succession within the Vatican, but
the reality is that we have entered a period in Vatican politics that
is somewhat analogous to the Iowa caucuses in American presidential
contests .

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.
"For the better part of five centuries, from the Inquisition into
the twentieth century , the Church maintained a semi-official list of
books that were to be banned and shunned. Sadly, Cardinal Bertone seems
to be suggesting a return to a time when Church leaders believed they
could win intellectual and philosophical debates by simply banning or
suppressing certain ideas.

NEW YORK----Controversy continues
to swirl around The Da Vinci Code, even after two full years on the
bestseller list, more than 25 million copies sold worldwide, and the
creation of a multibillion dollar industry that includes everything
from Da Vinci Code tours of Paris to the upcoming Da Vinci Code movie
starring Tom Hanks. My experience with leading Catholic thinkers, from
professors at religious institutions to members of Opus Dei, is that
they have generally embraced the debate over this wildly popular
novel, and found a positive opportunity to criticize what they find to
be in error in The Da Vinci Code, while also obtaining a forum to
express their own views of religious history and theology.secretsofthecode.

"It is particularly ironic that Dan Brown's novels frequently call
attention to the suppression of ideas in Church history: The burning
and banning of works of "heretics;" the quashing of alternative
scriptures that have come to be known as the Gnostic Gospels; the fact
that the historical Mary Magdalene was mis-characterized for almost
1400 years by the Church as a prostitute; the epochal Church battle to
censor the great scientist Galileo. Cardinal Bertone
has set out to criticize what he sees as, in his opinion, the
dangerous and erroneous content of The Da Vinci Code.
