One Made Up Story Fighting Another
So the vatican is denouncing the NOVEL "The Devinci Code". My mother told me they put it on "The Index", I had no idea what she was talking about. Once I looked into it and found out that they want to put this book on the same list as philosophers like Locke, Kant, Rousseau and authors like Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas and Balzac, it just seems to put Dan Brown on a whole other level. This is not a dig at Mr. Brown's work (I devoured this book as well as Angels and Demons) but I just can't place him in the same category as those authors. Like my friend dante said, this just seems to give more legitimacy to the book than if they had just ignored it.
