‘Da Vinci Code’ Not Welcome at Westminster Abbey

Church officials in London have barred the producers of The Da Vinci Code
from shooting scenes in Westminster Abbey after denouncing the book,
which the film will be based on, as “theologically unsound.” Director Ron Howard
and his cast have already been given permission to shoot scenes inside
Paris, France’s Louvre art gallery and England’s Lincoln Cathedral, but
the doors to the London landmark won’t be opened for them. Dan Brown‘s
controversial book has already been condemned by the Vatican and
Anglican Church leaders for distorting the Christian message. The
bestselling mystery novel suggests Jesus was married to biblical
prostitute Mary Magdalene and had children with her. In a statement
released by Abbey officials, they maintain, “Although a real page
turner, The Da Vinci Code is theologically unsound and we
cannot commend or endorse the contentious and wayward religious and
historic suggestions made in the book. It would therefore be
inappropriate to film scenes from the book here.”

Yeah… the book’s theology is so… unsound. As compared to your own.

Don’t get me started on the logical fallacies included in the above statement. I’d be here all week.
