    A classic headline I think :laugh: The Vatican has come out against vampirical toothy teen book'n'movie series Twilight, dismissing the epic girl loves vampire, girl loses vampire, girl becomes vampire cycle as a "deviant moral vacuum". The Holy See's attempt to drive a stake through the heart of the burgeoning film franchise came as it took £1.8m on its opening day in Italy.

According to the Daily Mail Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, of the Pontifical Council of Culture, said: "Men and women are transformed with horrible masks and it is once again that age-old trick or ideal formula of using extremes to make an impact at the box office. "This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern."

      This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message

      Honestly, you could probably say that about a lot of films.

              Gee, judging by the sudden flurry of 1's, I'd guess you've offended those who believe in vampires. ;P

                The Catholic Church is always against any type of entertainment. They are the only Christian church which prohibits the marriage for their priests; I mean how sick, oppressive and monster creating is that? For example, in the Orthodox churches only a married man can became a priest, which makes perfect sense for me. Sorry if this is too soapbox type of post.

                  Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

                            Great - more publicity for a useless* trilogy with a pathetic plot, loads of plot holes#, and a really bad role model *except for fuel #I can think of at least three off the top of my head

                                    I thought the whole vampire concept was a metaphor for the Catholic Church.
