China Church urges boycott of ? The Da Vinci Code?
China?s official Catholic church urged its followers to boycott ?The Da Vinci Code,? and bishops in India demanded the movie be shown with a disclaimer yesterday as viewers across Asia got a first glimpse of the controversial film.The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, which isn?t governed by the Vatican, accused the film?s makers of ?violating religious ethics and morals and insulting the feelings of clergy and followers,? the state-run Xinhua News Agency said. The church urged the country?s more than 10 million faithful to avoid it. However, China's officially atheistic communist government hasn?t banned the movie. Normally strict censors cleared the film without any cuts. Asian moviegoers were among the first in the world to watch ?The Da Vinci Code? when it officially opened yesterday. The film, based on the best-selling Dan Brown novel by the same name, wasn?t expected to generate major backlash in Asia, where the major religions are Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.
