The Laura Ingraham Show – The Da Vinci Code
Rev. Robert Sirico joined Laura Ingraham’s radio show last week to talk about The Da Vinci Code. With the approach of the movie’s May 19 release, there’s quite a stir in Christian communities. Many believers are trying to raise awareness that Dan Brown’s book and now the movie is a historical fiction -– not 100 percent factual history and definitely not theology. A few faith communities are calling for a boycott of the movie, and others are engaging in Da Vinci Code education/discernment classes.
In response to the popularity of the book and the movie’s advance publicity, Rev. Sirico said that “much too much is being made of [The Da Vinci Code]. I don’t know if it even rises to the level of blasphemy, its so banal ... ” He and Laura covered several other topics relating to The Da Vinci Code including the Gnostic gospels and their role in the ideology behind the book, attacks on Roman Catholicism, and exaggeration of Opus Dei. If you have access to the archives of the Laura Ingraham show, I encourage you to find this segment (2006-05-08).
Rev. Sirico also spoke on the Neil Cavuto Show (Fox News) about The Da Vinci Code back in March.

I am not about to pay for access to Laura Ingraham’s archives, while she demonizes hardworking immigrants and campaigns for $11 Billion in government waste to build a fence to keep supply from meeting demand.
Inflation is tamed, unemployment is minimal, and most importantly our Roman Catholic (and more than a few Protestant) Churches are full because of the devotion and hard work of our Latino Immigrant brothers.
Can someone please ask Laura, why don’t we want 11 Million more of these guys to come over here? Rather than sending the National Guard to hunt down our greatest allies, co-workers, and in many cases bosses and business owners, how about asking the government to step aside and let the market work its magic?
