Here is a great review of the cinematic version of the Coded Craziness, written by Rev. Paul W. McNellis, S.J., an assistant adjunct professor of philosophy at Boston College. Excerpts:
Though thoroughly anti-Christian, it is such a bad movie it can’t even get the bigotry right. ...
Nevertheless, the movie pulls off what I would have thought was next to impossible: it is both mind-numbingly boring and stridently anti-Christian. ...
As for recognizing blasphemy, we hear the objection, “But it’s only fiction.” Would the same defense be offered if Hollywood produced The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or The Satanic Verses? Furthermore, if Ron Howard had wanted to make a fast-paced murder mystery, there are many scenes he could have cut, all to the movie’s advantage. Scenes of a deranged, nude, sadomasochistic “monk” praying before a crucifix as preparatory to committing murder, intentionally mock Christian faith, and Ron Howard’s decision to include them shows that he shares Dan Brown’s contempt for Christianity. Any normal Christian would be offended. That many will not be offended is an indication of the extent to which our society has become post-Christian. ...
And the coup de grace:
A society incapable of recognizing blasphemy against the God that 80% of its citizens claim to worship, is a post-Christian society lacking self-respect. Those without self-respect will be incapable of seeing why their fellow citizens deserve respect. Such a society becomes capable of believing and tolerating almost anything if it contributes to comfort and demands no sacrifice. This is not a mark of sophistication or virtue; it’s evidence of profound decadence.
