I love Lighthouse Catholic Media and so I’m happy to share this email:
Lighthouse Catholic Media presents: Fallen Fiction – The Truth About Angels & Demons
The movie, Angels & Demons was released to 3,500 theaters around the country on May 15 and now has grossed over $356 million.
So what’s the problem?
While being hailed as a masterful work of cinema, Angels & Demons grossly mischaracterizes the Catholic Church. This movie assaults the faith of millions and may damage the faith of those who know little about Catholic teaching and the Church’s influence on Western history.
Wrapped in an exciting story of mystery and intrigue, Angels & Demons clearly seems to have an anti-Catholic agenda, that of portraying the Church to be a murderous institution bent on eliminating those who would foster scientific progress.
Lighthouse Catholic Media has teamed up with Matthew Arnold to set the record straight in a FREE DOWNLOAD audio presentation, Fallen Fiction – The Truth About Angels & Demons, for you, no strings attached.
Fallen Fiction – The Truth About Angels & Demons is a fantastic resource containing questions and answers that dispel the misguided claims made in the movie’s story.
Please forward this email to your friends and family. Let’s set the record straight. It’s up to all of us.
Your Friends in Christ,
Lighthouse Catholic Media (a Not-For-Profit Corporation)

What saddens me, as a Protestant, is that the outrage over this film/book is not nearly what it was over the previous film/book. The reason is it attacks the Catholic Church, thus my fellow Protestants feel it is no big deal.
However, they forget that we are still unified in Christ. I love what Peter Kreeft said recently at an event I attended, “We are separated brothers in Christ; and when both come under attack, both begin to unify.”
In the culture we’re currently living, it would behoove Protestants to defend our Catholic brothers against the erroneous errors of Dan Brown.

Amen Joel.
To quote one of the versions of the poem from the Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoeller:
In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me -
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
