Non-fiction is the genre that is subject to peer review, etc. Hence, the church would be much better off debating with non-fiction writers.

The Catholic Church is less concerned with negative protrail of the Church and more concerned with teaching which will lead people astray. Avitar is fiction targeted towards children and teens that teached nature worship. This is in direct conflict with Church teaching of worshipping only God.Chritism of the daVinci code was also based on false teaching, that Christ had childredn with Mary Magdelein who were the ancesters of the french royal family. This case would not have been important if Dan Brown had not gone on the talk show circuit claimint that althought it was fiction, it was all true.I think that the Church should follow your advice, and that they have, when it is purly fiction that is not "teaching".

I think that the Church should follow your advice, and that they have, when it is purly fiction that is not “teaching”.
