Inget novel "Jomblo" tulisan Aditya Mulya,
Nah, ada berita baru, kagak ada hubungannya sich ama si Adit.
Kabarnya Da Vinci Code, yang menurut mbah Gigi masih
kalah seru ama tulisannya mbah Stephen itu bakal ditarik
atas perintah otoritas gereja Vatikan. Dianggap blasphemy.
Wah, ini gaya siapa tuh ..... yak .... :P

Vatican denounces 'The Da Vinci Code'
Cardinal blasts anti-Catholic attitude of book
BY DANIEL WILLIAMS
Washington Post
ROME - As is just about everywhere else in the world, Rome is awash in
editions of "The Da Vinci Code," the blockbuster whodunit with a narrative
that includes a Vatican cover-up of an explosive theological secret: Jesus
was married.
Despite the heretical plot twist, in which Jesus had a child by the wife,
Mary Magdalene, Dan Brown's novel was on sale at the bookstore of Gemelli
Polyclinic, the Rome hospital where Pope John Paul II underwent a
tracheotomy last month and spent 18 days recovering before being released
last Sunday.
Well, enough is enough. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, once a top dogma enforcer
in Vatican City and now archbishop of Genoa, broke the Vatican's silence on
the book Wednesday and told Vatican Radio that no one should read it and
certainly Catholic bookstores should stop selling it.
"Don't buy and don't read that novel," he said. And in remarks to Il
Giornale, a conservative newspaper, Bertone declared, "There's a big
anti-Catholic prejudice." He added that the book "aims to discredit the
church and its history through gross and absurd manipulations."
Bertone explained why, two years after the novel's debut, the church ought
to be putting its foot down. Too many people are taking the book's mix of
art, architecture, secret societies, weird symbolism and hocus-pocus as - if
you'll excuse the expression - the Gospel truth.
"You can't be a modern youth without having read it," Bertone said. "The
book is everywhere. There is a very real risk that many people who read it
will believe that the fables it contains are true." Until two years ago, he
belonged to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the official
defender of orthodoxy in the Vatican.
Brown has disputed criticism that his novel is anti-Christian.
References to Christianity have been popping up all over the mass media.
Last year's mega-hit by Mel Gibson, "The Passion of the Christ," about
Jesus' last hours before and during the Crucifixion, was praised by the
Vatican, where it was privately screened for the pope. Vatican spokesmen
said the pontiff gave it two thumbs up, but they later retracted that report
and said he doesn't do movie reviews. In London, Madame Tussauds, the wax
museum, mounted a Nativity scene with soccer star David Beckham and wife
Victoria, aka Posh Spice, standing in for Joseph and Mary.
Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" - used as evidence of the
Jesus-Magdalene liaison in Brown's book - also took a hit. In an irreverent
ad campaign by the French fashion house Marithe and Francois Girbaud, sultry
women in chic casuals were arranged at a table in postures similar to the
Apostles' in the painting - except that in John's place, a shirtless man in
low-slung jeans slouches. French Catholics sued because the poster "did
great injury to Catholics" by representing the Last Supper "in denigrating
conditions." A judge banned the poster as "an aggressive act of intrusion of
people's innermost beliefs."
Lawyers for the fashion company had argued that the posters were a parody of
a painting, not a religious event, and wondered aloud why the judge did not
ban "The Da Vinci Code."
In any case, the heretical horse is way out of the barn. Eighteen million
copies of "The Da Vinci Code" have been sold worldwide. A movie starring Tom
Hanks is in the works. Tourists pester guides at the exhibit of da Vinci's
"Last Supper" in Milan, asking them to point out the Mary Magdalene figure.
Guides explain repeatedly that the figure is that of a youthful John.
"There are two reasons the church needs to speak out on this issue," said
Massimo Introvigne, director of the Center on New Religious Studies, a
Catholic research organization in Rome. "Dan Brown talks about facts, and
things in his book are not facts. And second, I am astonished by the number
of Italians who tell me their faith has been shaken."
Riffs on the life of Jesus outside orthodox teaching are nothing new -
either in books, in Hollywood or, for that matter, in the most ancient of
Christian documents. Of course, there was Martin Scorsese's film "The Last
Temptation of Christ," in which Jesus on the cross imagines an alternative
life of married bliss with - who else? - Mary Magdalene. Before that, there
was "Jesus Christ Superstar," the Andrew Lloyd Webber rock opera that also
hinted at an affair between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, although not so much
as to offend. Vatican officials declared it acceptable entertainment for the
Vatican's millennium celebration.
In the early centuries of Christianity, religious leaders grappled with
various accounts of the life of Jesus, some of which were at odds with
orthodoxy. Was he a man, prophet or God, or all of the above? In the 4th
century, Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, ordered scores of manuscripts
attributed to followers of Jesus destroyed. But disobedient monks buried the
versions in clay jars and some were discovered centuries later. Among them
was a manuscript called the Gospel of Mary, attributed to Mary Magdalene. It
suggests she was one of the chosen followers of Jesus and an equal, at
least, to the others.
No mention of marriage is made in any of these, nor in the orthodox Gospels
of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, and it is the titillation aspect of "The Da
Vinci Code" that, in part, upsets church leaders and scholars.
"Scandal is what such books are all about," said Bernardo Estrada, a teacher
of the New Testament in Rome and a member of Opus Dei, a worldwide Catholic
lay organization with strong Vatican connections. Opus Dei is one of the
villains in "The Da Vinci Code." It is portrayed trying to suppress
knowledge that Jesus left a lineage on Earth and meant for Mary Magdalene to
be head of the church. "It's an attack on the church as obscurantist, and
Opus Dei is just a vehicle for the attack," he said.
But Estrada doesn't think "The Da Vinci Code" ought to be banned. Rather,
priests need to read it so they can talk about it. "Anyone with a historical
and religious base can refute it. I rather liked it; it's a good thriller,"
he said.
"There are two reasons the church needs to speak out. . Dan Brown talks
about facts, and things in his book are not facts. And second, I am
astonished by the number of Italians who tell me their faith has been
shaken."
