Idiots.

Jerks. When I have the mad desire to find the Holy Grail I don't go investigating like in the Da Vinci Code; I go Indiana Jones-style and fight Nazis!

As they chipped away, they noticed a faint light behind beyond the walls of the church. Upon further inspection they realized that they stumbled upon the Holy Janitorial Closet!

Stupid people. Don't they know the Holy Grail is in Valencia?

Could Dan Brown be sued for all this mess? Vandalizing churches over a work of FICTION yet. What next, someone takes a pick and shovel and starts hacking away at that museum in Paris?

Panda,
No, because nowhere in the book does Brown call for the vandalizing churches. His book may be junk but in a liberal society he has all the right to write things like it.

You are perfectly correct, Catholicgauze. Sad thing is, we live in such a lawsuit-happy age, I would not be surprised if someone did anyway. Had this been in the US, someone definitely would have sued.

No Panda, here in the U.S., someone would have found a way of suing the Catholic Church and Opus Dei for keeping the Grail hidden in an Anglican parish, causing the need for the vandalism in the first place.

Ha! Good one, Tim!

Really, though, this is beyond belief. You can bet it's being perpetrated, too, by the most anodyne-looking middle-aged folks you could think of. Some people's mid-life crises take on strange forms . . . .
