Speak out: Ban a ‘Da Vinci Code’ ban
By Invicto C. Alcantara
Dalaguete, Cebu


A ban on the film version of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code should be banned. The 300 to 400 years of Catholicism in the country should have already made the Catholics invulnerable to the “fiction story” of Dan Brown. But it seems Catholics have failed in their proselytizing, evangelization and efforts to win people into their fold. Will a ban not be a tacit acceptance of this failure?

Since President Arroyo started it with directives and orders restricting, repressing and banning people, specially the opposition, from impeaching her and investigating her on many issues, why don’t we for a change, follow her lead? If we can’t lick her, why not join her in her banning spree? Yes. Let us ban any ban on The Da Vinci Code film here and let the Catholics make their own decision.
