Fiction
From Merriam-Webster Inc.Fiction: 1 a : something invented by the imagination or feigned; specifically : an invented story b : fictitious literature (as novels or short stories) c : a work of fiction; especially : NOVEL
From the Vatican: in the LA Times: "This now-famous premise shaping Brown's bestseller "The Da Vinci Code" has infuriated leaders of the Roman Catholic Church and led to demands from a senior Vatican official that the book be shunned."
Which part of the definition of fiction is confusing the Vatican. Are they so worried about their all-powerful god, that they have to keep you from reading a book of fiction? There's something like 20 million copies that have been sold so far - did the Vatican just realize that? Or were the first 20 million bought by satan's minions and those are already a lost cause? Will religion please leave my life the hell alone and stick to collecting tithes and molesting altar boys.
