Catholicism subjected to off-the-wall fiction

I FIND it remarkable that whenever the likes of Dan Brown decide to write a book on religion that will cause controversy, it is (with one or two famous exceptions) almost certainly going to be about the Catholic Church.

I am not suggesting that people of other faiths should be subjected to the fairytales Brown and others have written. The Da Vinci Code, while fictitious and off-the-wall, represents a Catholic organisation, Opus Dei, as a murderous sect.

The film industry should take a hard look at what it produces. I doubt that Dan Brown would write something similar about organisations connected to other religions.
