Just as I saw the Brokeback Mountain only out of curiosity. By the way I have read another one of Dan Brown's novels, Angels and Demons. It is absolutely aweful. It pictures all people not practicing a faith as cruel murderers. So I am amused to see Opus Dei enraged as they are, but I am not a fan of Dan Brown.

Love the fact that it has garnered so much attention from both theists and non. I have been looking forward to the movie and will see it for sure. I hope it makes more money than "crazy Mel's" jeebuz flick did. <br /> What are the Catholic flocks afraid of anyway? How insecure they must be feeling if they are worried that a movie could sway their followers from the b.s. they've been swallowing since childhood.(but wouldn't it be nice if that happens) God forbid that anyone should have an indepedent thought!

The Baptist protests over Harry Potter weren't all that successful, were they? I'm skipping it (at least in the theater) because I think casting Tom Hanks in this role is a joke.

That pisses me off, so I think I will do the same, piss them off by doing my part to make this movie a box-office hit.<br /> <br /> I am also curious as to what Amato means by "unpunished," because if what he believes is true, won't "we all" be punished when we die? Island57's comment about the insecurity of catholics hit it on the head... Glad to hear/read some thoughts from people who share some of the same ideas as myself. I'm sure I'll be back here soon.

Worldwide revolt is justifiable for having your belief system questioned?

What an idiot!

Hello, monsignor, it’s only a MO-VIE!

And Harrison Ford isn’t even in it!

Cripes, the Vatican must have bought shares in it, because this boycott will only cause more people to go see the flick than avoid it.

Of course, if you base your beliefs on a work of fiction, you might be scared that another work of fiction could topple your own.
