There have been disagreements over the siting of a poster promoting the film.
How's this for masterly understatement? quote: He said: "This movie is not reputed to be particularly appreciated by ecclesiastic circles."

And how's this for spin-doctoring?
quote: The removal of the poster is the latest attack on Dan Brown's work by Catholic Church officials.
Oh, aye?
And I suppose that the posting of the poster (on a church, no less!) was no kind of an attack on the church. Or more correctly, on Good Taste.

Couldn't they find any other prominent place in the whole city of Rome to put that poster besides a church?!
Sheeeeeessshhh! Talk about throwing down the gauntlet!
That was a direct insult to the RC Church.
If people want to write books and make films, okay. We should have the free exchange of ideas. But we also have to respect each other.
