Fw: [catholicACT] Da Vinci's Code

The statements in red are for fun and not meant to be theological discussion.  They are proposed as counter-statements merely to accentuate the ludicrous nature of the assertions made by Da Vinci's Code devotees.

For a change, let's inject some humour into the fiction.  My humour in Red.

1.        Mary Magdalene is god - the old Church removed her and put Jesus in to move the then "sacred feminine" thinking world to that of a more                 masculine one.

The blessed Virgin Mary is an ordinary human, but the old Church has placed her "above" Jesus, made her "Mother of God", and exalted her to the status "god", equal to or above the Trinity, thus elevating the overall status of women, making them equal to men in all things, including the sacred.

3.        Mary Magdalene was of royal descent but was made out to be a prostitute to dissuade from the "truth".

Mary Magdalene was made out to be a prostitute to make the truth more appealing, since from then on prostitutes too may gain a place in heaven - without the worldly marriage to Jesus. In fact, every woman may now enter heaven, and make themselves sacred, by way of heavenly marriage (through "blind" faith ) with Jesus !

4.        There were writings of Jesus and Mary in their own hand which was not circulated in the Church.

The Church destroyed those books, so that every romantic woman not of "royal descent" can still hope to marry Jesus by faith. 

5.        The Church is protecting its doctrine by trying to destroy the documents relating to many of these information which are contrary to what we                 believe in or that is in the bible.  Incidentally, he claims that the bible was declared / first released by Constantine the Great as Jesus' popularity         was getting greater and greater, and to change the more pagan (nature oriented) thinking of that time.

The Church, seeing that the world no longer believes in a historical Jesus, secretly releases those documents she has kept for 2000 years, to show the world that even her enemies testified to a historical Jesus.

6.        He claims there was a book by St Philip which writes that Jesus used to kiss Mary on the lips quite often and that the disciples did not like that         and were quite jealous, thinking Jesus loved her more than them.

This is another proof positive from the enemies secretly released by the Church.  It proves the Church's doctrine that Jesus is a historical person and God. The disciples willingly suffer for Jesus, because they love Jesus more than a "royal" woman, forgoing all worldly riches and sensual pleasures.
