Carrie Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Jul 29 2005, 04:47 PM'] My mom's reading another Dan Brown book. I think it's Angels and Demons. I wish she'd stop reading that carp. She already read The DaVinci Code as though it were a history text. [right][snapback]664141[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Angels and Demons is the "prequel" to Da Vinci Code. I read them both and found them entertaining. (before you all yell at me, it's fiction and I was well aware of that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inDEED Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I did happen to hear a talk by one of the authors of, "The Da Vinci Hoax" and I DO realize that, in the hands of someone who may be UNeducated in the fact that it's FICTION, could really be influenced in an evil way...

p0lar_bear Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 [quote name='curtins' date='Jul 29 2005, 04:43 PM']excuse my lack of latin but whats Opus Dei? [right][snapback]664130[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Opus Dei is a conservative Catholic organization. I think we've had a couple of threads about them, so you might try a search.

Didacus Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Waht infuriates me about this book is that since the Vatican spoke against it, my sisters run out, buy the book and read it. Yet, they are generally uneducated in church teachings and wouldn't consider doing any 'constructive' reading to gain any of that knowledge either. Of course, they see themselves as 'experts' since they where born Catholic and feel justified to criticise the Faith and the Papacy on just about any issue that crosses their whims. please don't burn me...

inDEED Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm most likely an exception to the rule...BUT... The book actually STRENGTHENED my love for the Church...After reading the book, I did some research about many of its claims...And, as I'm sure you're aware - they were all FALSE!!! Once again, the Bride of Christ...well, the gates of hell will never prevail against her... Hollaback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only read the Da Vinci Code, but I found it to be well-written and hard to put down. I did laugh at some of the things they said about the Church and stuff. I took it as fiction. I do think that it is sad though that there are so many people who look at it as a history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleflower+JMJ Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 shouldn't this guy give the Church some of his profits from this book? lol he's using us to make money i guess the other peeps weren't exciting enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
