Thou Shall Not Read
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone of the Vatican called for the boycotting of the novel The Da Vinci Code, which he says is full of lies.
Perhaps that's why it's called a novel.
Bertone further went on to say that freedom of expression has its limits when it doesn't respect others. Of course, this would mean even the Bible would have to be suppressed; which may not be such a bad thing.
We could return to the glory days when only the clergy were allowed to read the word of G-d and when books like the Da Vinci Code could simply be added to the Index librorum prohibitorum while its author was burned as a heretic.
Folly sheds tears of joy just thinking about it.
