Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone of the roman catholic church bannes the popular book by Dan Brown.
The main point seems to be that the book falsely suggest that Jesus might have had a child with Maria Magdalene and continues to point out that christianity has suppressed women over the centuries.
What do you think ?
I’ve read the book (the new illustrated edition) and was quite disappointed - it’s not very good literature. I like the very thorough and precise research done around the reference to art and (parts) of history - but the plot and suspense is mediocre.
Now the Vaticans track record of banning is not really impressive (Galileo etc. )
So why do they keep trying ?
