ロシア正教会が映画ダ・ヴィンチ・コードを非難

ロシア正教が映画のダ・ヴィンチ・コードに対して否定的な態度をしているそうです。本は冒涜とも言えるほどで、信者の感情を侮辱するものだが、映像や映画はより大きな侮辱だって。議論しても世間の関心を集めて注目を集めるだけなのは、分かっているから、注目を浴びないようにするそうです。

この辺の考え方は、カトリック教会やオプス・デイのダ・ヴィンチ・コードに対する姿勢と一緒ですね。おそらく、それが一番賢明でしょう。騒げば騒ぐだけ、世界の注目を集め、映画の宣伝になるだけですから…ね。

しかし、ロシア正教もやっぱりそうなんですね。当然ですか、やはり。
Russian Orthodox Church Denounces the Da Vinci Code Movie

【以下、原文転載】
The Russian Orthodox Church has a negative attitude towards the American bestseller The Da Vinci Code being made into a film, spokesman for the Moscow Patriarchate told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

“The book borders on blasphemy and is an insult to the feelings of believers, but that an image or a film is a much bigger insult,” Father Mikhail Dudko argues. As concerns The Da Vincu Code the Orthodox Church is in agreement with the Catholic Church, he added.

However the Church realizes an open argument would only raise additional interest and attract attention to the film, he said.

“Probably we should pay less attention to this work which does not deserve any of this attention.”

Earlier the Orthodox Church denounced Dan Brown’s book, saying the author’s attempt to rewrite the New Testament was meant to legitimize personal and social vices by attributing them to Jesus Christ himself.

Ron Howard’s The Da Vinci Code, starring Tom Hanks and Ian McKellen, is to be released in May 2006.
