Opie’s Angels And Demons: Nonsense And Pure Imagination

Opie Pimping The Catholic Church — Opie & The Catholic Church

The key to handling “nonsense” and products of “pure imagination,” such as the Gnostic “Gospel of Judas” translated and released in English by the National Geographic Society in 2006, is to rebut them with the truths of faith, the Catholic leader told La Stampa.

And that’s precisely what the U.S.-based Catholic League has been working to do ahead of the May 15 release of “Angels & Demons.”

Earlier this month, the Catholic League, the nations largest Catholic civil rights organization, launched an educational campaign to inform the public about the agenda behind “Angels & Demons.”

To help moviegoers distinguish fact from fiction, the Catholic League released a booklet that details the “myths, lies and smears that are made against the Catholic Church” and “provides evidence of the anti-Catholic animus harbored by those associated with the film.”

“By the time we are finished with Angels & Demons, there should be few who wont know what the Brown-Howard agenda entails,” said Catholic League President Bill Donohue, referring to author Dan Brown and director Ron Howard.

Marketing for “Angels & Demons” is expected to pick up as Christians worldwide prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The movie, like “The Da Vinci Code,” comes out around one month after Easter.
