AN Italian cardinal’s decision to criticise Dan Brown’s novel The Da Vinci Code has unfortunately given the book a free promotional push that will only serve to bolster its already high sales.
Asking Catholics not to read it will only make more people curious about what it contains.
The book needs to be read with caution, mindful that it is fiction not fact.
Any attempt to make the book off limits to Catholics is futile and harks back to the days of the Inquisition.
