[Apologetics] Re: Adventism's answer to the DaVinci Code

[Art Kelly]

Stephen,

Thanks for your interesting report.

I'm very impressed with the Adventist attack on the
DaVinci Code. As you noted, they could have used the
book and movie as an excuse to go after the Church in
a big way. The fact that they chose not to do that
let's me know that they have "bigger fish to fry" than
attacking the Catholic Church.

With that idea in mind, I'm even more curious now to
know their opinion of the equally horrible movie,
Dogma.
