Via Witchvox, Yahoo reports that Opus Dei has their thorn-encrusted garters in a twist over the way that the movie The Da Vinci Code portrays the whack-job fundie Catholic group. They're demanding a disclaimer at the beginning of the film as a "sign of respect." Where the fuck do these people get off? Dudes, you're crazy and your leader is a gay, Hitler-Youth, vampire. No one respects you.

Umm, I don't see how a disclaimer would be "a gesture of respect" to Jesus. I suspect this guy, like Bush, has confused himself with the Lord.
Be careful, Hecate. These scary morons have the values of the KKK and the tactics of the CIA. They were the only thing about the DA VINCI CODE that got an accurate portrayal.
I haven't read The DaVinci Code book or seen the movie, and don't plan to. I did read Holy Grail, Holy Blood and thought it had one of the sillier premises I've ever read - if Jesus was not the Son of God who rose from the dead, he was nothing more special than just a very wise teacher. Which is not a bad thing to be, but then who cares if his daughter married into some line of kings, and what's the big deal about being descended from her and him?
Besides, if DaVinci had any real secret knowledge of Jesus, why was his Last Supper painting so grossly historically inaccurate - starting with but not limited to that sissy-looking blond Jesus. Jewish peasant carpenter my ass.
Sounds like Brown did get the Opus Dei thugs right, though.
I'm sorry but that Pope Ratzinger just LOOKS evil. He really does. I would think it would creep out the Catholics. I shudder every time I see a picture of him with that horrible expression. I don't know, maybe he can't help it but didn't somebody say that after a certain age you get the face you deserve?
