Better Late Than Never ?

Quote of the Day:
Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts, utterably vain;
Worthless as wither'd weeds,
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main.
~ Emily Bronte ~


A statement made yesterday, by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, has labeled the Da Vinci Code as rotten food, full of gross falsehoods which could lead the faithful astray. He says the book is "the latest in a series of devastating attacks against Christianity."

In other words, it might have them think nasty thoughts about the chastity of Jesus. As for those attacks, the Cardinal should look at company he keeps. The LA Times reports he attended the Genoa conference where he announced his news to the faithful with one Massimo Introvigne.

The cold compost heap at the Vatican is building higher and deeper and Bertone can't contain it by trying to pretend indignation at a novel of fiction when pedophilia and possibly murder are a part of what he is, supposedly, trying to protect.

It seems to me he protests too much, too late and thinks of himself as some sort of savior when he states, "I have arrived too late. Millions of copies have been sold. I can't hope to slow down sales but at least to prompt a critical response."

A critical response to what? A novel of fiction based on speculation with a little bit of lust thrown in to make the plot juicer?

Perhaps Cardinal Bertone is announcing his upcoming coronation with this outburst. Vatican Radio is also known as "The Pope's Voice." The current pope is in such poor physical condition he can hardly speak. No ... forget that idea. The Vatican is too similar to the current US. All of the real power operates behind the curtain.

A funny thought has crossed my mind. If the Vatican has read the article concerning the Da Vinci Code which was mentioned here last week, it probably had a conniption.

Just think for a moment. What is it that both the Vatican and The Powers That Be really fear? Could it be the idea that some people are waking up to the lies and manipulations? Could it be that serious investigations and research are uncovering the Truth concerning Free Will and it's place in the 'reality' called life?

Read the article to find out.

And, while it is fresh in my mind, take a look at the book which contains the article, The Secret History of The World and How To Get Out Alive. From what I understand, it is 867 pages of material guaranteed to make you think.
