The Vatican on New Moon

Here is what the Vatican had to say about New Moon:

The Vatican has blasted New Moon, calling it "deviant" and a "moral vacuum".

The Twilight sequel, which hits cinemas this weekend, has been criticised by the governing body of the Roman Catholic Church for its supernatural references.

"This theme of vampires in Twilight combines a mixture of excesses that, as ever is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric element," complained the Vatican's culture council leader, Monsignor Franco Perazzolo.

He added, "This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern."

The Vatican's stance comes as something of a surprise as they have softened their stance on certain blockbusters recently - approving the most recent Harry Potter film and calling the sequel to The Da Vinci Code "harmless entertainment".


My personal opinion on why the Vatican is getting so angry is that they don't like the fact that their whole city/country is very similar to Volterra. They have the same royalty-like thing going on and they are all vastly old men. I have nothing against the people in the Vatican, I just think that people that get angry about fiction need to rethink a lot of things in their life because its FICTION!
