The CBS affiliate in Boston, Channel 4, carried an intriguing and original report today:
Despite the charges in some quarters that the Da Vinci Code is "anti-Catholic," the channel 4 report notedd, "In our exclusive Fast Track we asked Boston area Catholics who've read the book about the story's accuracy. Sixty-six percent say 'The Da Vinci Code' is 'very' or 'somewhat' accurate."
This is one of the first quantifications I have seen of an obvious trend: Many ordinary people who happen to be Catholics have found many interesting ideas and food for thought in the Da Vinci Code.
The Boston TV report went on, however, to quote C.J. Doyle, who heads the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, an anti-defamation organization with about 1700 members. He says people should stay away from the movie. "This is a blasphemous fable. And frankly, I'd urge every Catholic never to go to another movie involving Tom Hanks or purchase any product from the Sony Corporation," according to Doyle.
