Indian Christians call with a hunger strike against “Da vinci code”

BOMBAY (AFP) - A catholic Indian group invited the Christians to start a hunger strike until death to protest against the diffusion in India of the film “Da vinci code” which must invade the screens of the world on May 19.
Catholic Secular Forum brought together Wednesday in a convent of Bombay (western) some 200 people, of which several tens of nuns, opposed to the exit of film.
Joseph Dias, chief of this religious group which had hoped to join together thousands of people, indicated that its organization had given up burning effigies of the author of “Da vinci code” Dan Brown because it had not been able to prevent the government of his intentions and feared sanctions.
But Mr. Dias affirmed that some 50 people would start Friday with him a hunger strike in the center of the financial capital of India unless the authorities do not decide to prohibit the exit of film. “We badly do not have a hope which the film is prohibited. If it is not it, they are likely to have to deal with dead few people what will have a negative impact on the government with the capacity” carried out by the Party of the Congress (center-left), it declared.
Sony Pictures had confirmed Tuesday that the launching of film in India was always envisaged on May 19.
In the Vatican, the secretary of the Congregation for the doctrines of faith Mgr Angelo Amato evoked a boycott of film drawn from the book with success of Dan Brown, which it described as “novel perversely agains Christian”.
Adapted best-seller eponym, “Da Vinci Code” has as an argument the idea that Jesus and Marie-madeleine had a descent, that the catholic Church has hidden that at all costs for two thousand years and that it is used for the XXe century of Opus Dei like sicaire.
The film is carried out by Ron Howard, with the American actor Tom Hanks and the Frenchwoman Audrey Tautou.
Approximately 2% of the strong Indian population d'1,1 billion inhabitants are Christian, the majority of the Indians being Hindu.

To strike of the end, to boycott, threaten to kill out of the people…. it would perhaps not have to be forgotten that the starting point of all these couroux is ..... only…. a film of fiction!
