(or why I love the church)
(BBC News)Nun stages Da Vinci Code protest. Sister Mary believes The Da Vinci Code is blasphemous. A Roman Catholic nun has staged a protest over the filming of the Da Vinci Code at Lincoln Cathedral. Sister Mary Michael knelt in prayer outside the building for 12 hours to object to the production of the film, which stars Tom Hanks.
Not the war in Iraq, or the genocide in Rwanda, or the bombings in London, or the North/South Korean problem, or Indian/Pakistan nuke issues, or cancer, or snakeheads smuggling immigrants, or Chechnya terrorists, or starving in Africa, or the crystal meth addicts, or global warming, or mountainous piles of toxic landfill garbage, or holy wars, or industrial dioxin pollution, or avian flu, or Middle Eastern women's rights, or child abuse, or 13 year-olds murdering 11 year-olds, or AIDS, or unwanted orphans around the world, or tsunamis in Asia, or hurricanes in Central America, or coal mines in China, or heart disease - no these don't warrant a 12 hour prayer fest - but a movie being filmed, now that's another story.
