I would recommend it to no one, the language in it being too strong for my fancy. Other than that bit of acknowledgement, however, I found it to be no more than an attempt to utilize the Gospel as a background for an Indiana Jones vehicle. It does not surprise me that the Church world, in general, is upset; but it does give me cause to shake my head and wonder when some find it offensive to the Church as an institution and not as an insult to the facts of Christ. Personally, I find it just another bit of humanity in its natural state. If people don't want to see it, don't buy tickets. If my faith was so fragile that it could be shaken by some Hollywood piece of admitted fiction, I didn't have much in the first place. Then, again, maybe I'm not getting the "whole picture"....... having loaned a friend at school a couple of my books, I felt a bit “obliged” when she then insisted I read The Da Vinci Code.
