Rome, Italy, May 5, 2009 / 05:41 pm (CNA).- Bishop Emeritus Antonio Rosario Mennonna, 103, of Nardo-Gallipoli (Italy), one of three living bishops born in 1906, has criticized the film Angels and Demons as “useless stupidity.”

According to press reports, the bishop criticized the movie based on Dan Brown’s novel, saying its contents are “highly denigrating, defamatory and offensive for the values of the Church and the prestige of the Holy See.”

Those close to the prelate said he is “deeply shocked and disturbed by the contents of the film.” Bishop Mennonna invited his brother bishops to denounce the film for attacking the faith of missions of spreading obscenity.

Every bishop and priest should be denouncing this film, especially the American ones. It should be US news.

This film appears to be another typical film with an anti-Catholic theme running through it. Our best defense againt it is "not" to see it!

Dan Brown and Ron Howard sure work well together. Let's give them a Hollywood type award nite-black tie and semi-topless. None of these cultural failures will ever lose money on their foul taste.
