<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I should have done this before I sent this off - I
don't have the time to read it, but it looks good. I searched for the
common anti-Catholic terms, and references to Catholicism, and there's nothing
major. They don't even harp on about the Sabbath - this seems to be a
defence of Christianity without other stuff mixed in. The anti-Catholic
stuff is pretty much limited to acknowledgement that Christians sin, and all
churches contain sinners (they do mention the examples of corruption, priests
and abuse, but the book "Hitler's Pope" gets mentioned as an example in
footnotes only. Where they could have done a bit of Catholic bashing, the
text is limited to "<FONT face=Bembo>Jesus’ disciples were married, including
Peter (see Matthew 8:14), who some claim was the first
pope."</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Adventist church in Australia has come out
with a new book called The Da Vinci Decode. I have downloaded it, but I
haven't read it yet, so I can't comment much ... except for being wary about
the anti-Catholic elements it may contain.</FONT></DIV>
