Really? I thought they would just learn from it, and double check any albino men seeking to enter the outfit as a monk. You know, to make sure they aren’t homicidal or insane.
 
I’m pretty white these days–you’ll need shades if I go swimming–and some would certainly say I’m insane. But they let me attend anyway.

don’t really think he hates the Catholic Church.
Yes some of his novels you would think so but I think it is more of just a critical thinking approach.

You might be right about him not hating the Church, but I would never associate Dan Brown with critical thinking.
I can’t take a nivelest who gets so many background facts wrong. Lazy research. Not critical thinking.
 
I feel like although as Catholics we should look negatively on Freemasonry, Lost Symbol really took them on so you have to give him some credit. Angels and Demons took on the nonexistent Illuminati. Inferno I am not sure who he actually took on, i would say it’s groups who promote depopulation and population control, though I’m not aware of any specific group by name. Just saying going after Opus Dei wasn’t the biggest hes ever gone after. I’m not sure it Freemasons had outrage in Lost Symbol because they do speak of sexual initiations and such in the book.
 
This is even more ridiculous than the Palmarian Catholic Church…
 
Hey, if it’s a private audience you get to sit beside him and swing!
 
I find his writing to be very “dumbed down”, read the first two of the series just to see what the hype was about.

They are very commercial, about the intrigue level of a MacGyver episode, and every. single. chapter. ends with a cliffhanger where you can hear “da da duuuuuuum” in your head.

Who wouldn’t?

Wasn’t the idea stolen from Foul Play where chevy chase and goldie hawn are chased by an albino while trying to stop the assasination of the Pope? That movie, and the dan brown book/movie are running together in my memory. I won’t know how to react if I meet an albino monk!
 
I have seen some stuff about the Palmarian Catholic Church before. They are very, very weird- and that’s as charitable as I can put it.
 
I was making a bad pun referencing the book and film, “The Shoes of the Fisherman,” lol! I think the title, in turn, refers to the Pope’s traditional red shoes.

Red Shoes and the Room of Tears

Like so many millions of Catholics around the world waiting for the traditional white smoke to begin to flow from the Sistine Chapel’s chimney, I can’t help but wonder who the next Pope will be to slip his feet into the traditional red shoes as successor of Saint Peter and leader of the...
