Much Ado About Nothing
Monday, June 12th, 2006My husband and I went to see the “Da Vinci Code” this evening at the movies. I did not read the book, but he did. At the end, he asked me, “As a Catholic, what did you think about the movie?” My response was, “Seems like much ado about nothing to me. It’s fiction.”
For me, anything is plausible, but that movie and no other would shake my faith in the power of Jesus Christ and what he did for us. What he did and didn’t do is of little consequence to me in my world of a faith that goes beyond human understanding.
As a viewer, the movie was a bit long. As a traveler, I found myself back in the Louvre and remembering I didn’t get to just walk up to the Mona Lisa…she was roped off!
As for the Church, perhaps they should have a little more faith in the faithful.
