When they don't, we can just use the report button :awesome:

I spent far too much of this evening arguing about Catholicism with another Catholic. He got told off for preaching at one point by someone until I said it was fine and that I was Catholic too :mmm:

Has anyone seen the trailers for 'There Be Dragons'? It's about the Life of St Josemaria Escriva. And, suprisingly, it takes an objective view of history and not the usual crap put out by anti Catholics like Dan Brown :awesome:

as a Catholic I like Dan Browns work. - I can read/watch it knowing that its fictious and doesnt affect my view of the Chruch at all. Dan Brown only claims that the places and settings are real. Few make such a disclaimer.

Apparently RAI are doing a film on Benedict - I've seen some of their films and they are very good, especially the one on JP1

Actually Dan Brown himself claimed that 99% of historical assertions written in the Da Vinci Code were facts. Brown is a sordid, nasty liar with a burning hatred if Catholicism. I'm planning on burning my copies of his books. Plus, I pretty much agree with Rushdie's analysis of his work.

Woah! I'm only doing what the Church recommends. My sponsor's family were told by a one of the Vatican's official exorcists to burn their copies of Harry Potter. Plus fire's so much more sanctifying :colone:

TBH I'll probably just chuck them.

burn their copies of Harry Potter? :lolwut:

afaik the church has no official position on harry potter, so it is not what the Church recommends, just what someone within the Church recommends.

I find the concept of burning books, especially fiction, utterly intolerant and abhorrent.

Oh it's not an official Church position. But he's relatively important, none the less.

Then please watch how you word things. It's not what the Church recommends then.
