Catholics form Da Vinci film team

Leading UK Catholics and members of Opus Dei have formed a group to respond 
to the negative impact the Da Vinci Code film is expected to bring.

The Da Vinci Code Response Group, which also includes a Benedictine abbot 
and two priests, has condemned Dan Brown's book as "fiction trading as 
fact".

The group criticised its "damaging and grotesque" account of their faith.

The comments come just weeks before the film version of the novel, starring 
Tom Hanks, is due to be released.

'Deceived'

The book, which has sold 40 millions copies worldwide, has been attacked for 
portraying the Catholic Church as a shadowy organisation that has spent 
2,000 years covering up Christ's bloodline.

The response group is being co-ordinated by Austen Ivereigh, the director 
for public affairs of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the Archbishop of 
Westminster and head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

In a statement the group said: "We believe the Da Vinci Code is fun and 
harmless in so far as it is treated as fiction. We do not believe in 
condemnations, boycotts or protests.

"Prickliness on the part of Christians leads us into the trap laid by Dan 
Brown - that the church is on the defensive because it is engaged in a 
cover-up.

"But we are also exasperated that many people without a good understanding 
of the Catholic Church and its history have been understandably deceived by 
Dan Brown's claim that the Da Vinci Code is based on facts and respectable 
theories.

"That deception is likely to be reinforced by the film because images are 
much more powerful than words."

Disclaimer plea

Opus Dei, a conservative Catholic group with 86,000 members worldwide, are 
particularly angry about their order being portrayed as murderous and 
power-crazed.

The organisation has arranged special information evenings in London for the 
public and has asked Sony Pictures, which produced the new film, to include 
a caption explaining the film is fiction.

Sony has previously declined to reveal whether the film would carry such a 
disclaimer.

Opus Dei's communications director Jack Valero said he believed it was 
important to make it clear.

"The book is obviously trying to present fictional things as factual, and 
trying to deceive people in that way," he said.

"That's why Opus Dei asked for a disclaimer at the beginning of the film 
just to say this is pure fiction, and then that's fine, you can say what you 
like.

"But if you're trying to get people to believe it's fact when in fact it's 
fiction, then that's cheating really."

The film will premiere on 17 May at the Cannes Film Festival before going on 
general release worldwide on 19 May.
