Director Ron Howard defends "Angels & Demons" (Reuters)
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Director Ron Howard on Tuesday defended his film adaptation of "The Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown 's " Angels & Demons " from criticism that it smears the Roman Catholic Church , heightening an ongoing battle over fictional depictions of the Vatican.
Howard, who also directed the 2006 movie adaptation of " The Da Vinci Code ," posted a blog at The Huffington Post website saying that neither he nor his new movie "Angels & Demons," which debuts in May and stars Tom Hanks , are anti-Catholic.
"And let me be a little controversial: I believe Catholics, including most in the hierarchy of the Church , will enjoy the movie for what it is: an exciting mystery, set in the awe-inspiring beauty of Rome," Howard wrote.
Howard's post came in response to an opinion piece in the New York Daily News by Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, last week. Donahue accused Brown and Howard of "smearing the Catholic Church with fabulously bogus tales."
Last year, the Catholic Church refused to let "Angels & Demons" be filmed in churches in Rome because of the Vatican's outrage over "The Da Vinci Code."
Howard's drama "Frost/Nixon" was nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards this year, but lost to " Slumdog Millionaire ." His other films include " A Beautiful Mind ," which won the best picture Oscar and best directing Oscar for 2001, as well as 1995's " Apollo 13 ."
Brown this week announced that his follow-up novel to "The Da Vinci Code" will be released in September and is titled "The Lost Symbol."

Opie needs a good spanking for some of the movies he makes.
Hollywood just doesn't get it. Why do they want to continue bashing Christianity? Oh! That's Right! The Christian Church won't back away from its position on HOMOSEXUALITY.
Hollywood believes Gays & Lesbians are "born" homosexual. That GOD made them that way.
IMO, homosexuals are believing a LIE.
We hear from the Liberal Left that a women's right to terminate their pregnancy for any reason is a CHOICE protected under our Constitution. Well, since this has become the case due to rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court, why won't they define HOMOSEXUALITY for what I believe it is........A CHOICE.
More to the point, a SEXUAL ADDICTION. No different than being addicted to DRUGS, ALCOHOL or GAMBLING. And as with most impulsive (or compulsive as with liars and kleptomaniacs) ADDICTIONS, they spawn from a kind of MENTAL ILLNESS. Usually, these type of addictions (IMO) are most likely due to low self esteem, feeling humiliated, being bullied, overcome with shame or anger, disappointments, the rejections or the abuse ( such as rape ) from a parent, guardian and/or loved one. There is a long list of mental disorders that could be applied. And with help, many CAN healed for these disorders. Former homosexuals are a testament to that.
So being "born" GAY can't be the reason or the truth.
Forcing the Christian Church to accept HOMOSEXUALITY as "GOD" MADE instead of MAN MADE would free the homosexual from any of the responsibility of their actions. When they die from A.I.D.S. or any other STD, they can blame it on GOD.
THEY'RE WANTING TO RE-WRITE THE BIBLE SO THAT IT WILL SAY WHAT THEY WANT IT SAY!! And if they can't do that, they will try to demonize Christians with lies and names. Names like BIGOT, RACIST or HATERS. They will attempt to prevent you from OWNING PROPERTY, DENY YOU ACCESS TO PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF YOUR FAITH, RAISE YOUR TAXES, or worse. Whatever it takes to discourage people of faith.
Like angry, little children, if they can't have their way or get what they want, they will THROW A TANTRUM. You saw an example of that from Perez Hilton after the Miss U.S.A. pageant ( calling Miss California a "dumb b--ch" on his blog ). You can see how MENTALLY UNSTABLE Perez Hilton really is. This kind of behavior serves to only re-enforce my observation ( as does those who subject themselves to sex change operations. You can't be "playing with a full deck" if you're actually considering MUTILATING your body because of a "sexual" preference.).
Ron Howard and the rest of Hollywood needs to be sent a message.
I urge you to boycott movies that are strictly designed to harm CHRISTIANITY and the truth of the only one willing to die FOR you and me, JESUS CHRIST.
They will only listen if we don't buy their products. The longer we don't buy, the broker they become.
