'The Real Da Vinci Code', presented by Tony Robinson. Part One of two.
Prime TV, Sunday 14 May 2006, 8:35 PM
"The strength of this documentary is that it sticks purely to the evidence,
comparing it at every stage with the claims Dan Brown makes as part of the
allegedly 'well researched' background to his novel. In particular, Robinson
demolishes the claim made on the novel's first page (under the bold heading
'FACT') that the so-called "Priory of Sion" is a real organisation. Robinson
takes to this claim with an entertaining combination of detailed detective
work and obvious relish and lays out the real story of the 'Priory' - not a
real medieval secret society at all, but rather a clumsy modern hoax by a
French eccentric ... complete with a rather funny interview with a visibly
squirming *Holy Blood, Holy Grail* author, Michael Baigent..." Full review

What's wrong with 'The Da Vinci Code'? The facts behind the fiction, by
Lyndsay Freer
It is clearly stated on the publication page that The Da Vinci Code is a
work of fiction. Despite this, many have been taken in by the
pseudo-historical manner in which the absurd claims about Jesus Christ, the
birth of Christianity and its development are presented. These are said by
Brown to be â€œthe real truthâ€� which the Catholic Church is portrayed as
having ruthlessly suppressed...

From the April 2006 issue ...

Editorial: On Schedules and Seasons, by Anna Holmes (full text)
The Easter season is a time of redemption, which is simply a new awareness
of the presence of God in all creation. It is joy in the immanent God.
Unfortunately we live in a world that has attempted to displace seasons with
schedules. It is also a world in which the Sabbath has been extinguished
with Sunday shopping and the weekend diminished as a time for recreation by
an overload of sports fixtures...

THE NATHANIEL REPORT

Published by the Nathaniel Centre, the NZ Catholic Bioethics Centre.

Issue eighteen 2006

Editorial HIV-AIDS in Oceania
HIV-AIDS is the biggest challenge that the Church in Oceania currently
faces, yet many people have only a limited awareness of the extent of the
pandemic. The challenges presented by AIDS call for fresh theological and
pastoral approaches and simultaneously call us to return to the traditional
fonts of moral wisdom and view them from a fresh perspective. Compassion
must shape our response to HIV-AIDS...

Vital Strategies for a Global AIDS Response: Pope John XXIII's "Pillars of
Peace"
An edited version of an address delivered by Rev Robert J Vitillo, the
Geneva-based Special Advisor on HIV and AIDS to Caritas Internationalis. â€œâ€¦
the 'missing link' in the global AIDS response is the authentic human
development made possible through the four "pillars of peace" proposed by
John XXIII: truth, justice, freedom, and love...â€�

Church's Response to HIV-AIDS in Oceania
In this article, Dr Michael McCabe shares insights and reflections based on
three separate workshops run by The Nathaniel Centre, in partnership with
Caritas-Aotearoa New Zealand, to address the AIDS pandemic in Oceania and
the Pacific Islands. In formulating a theological and pastoral response to
HIV-AIDS the Church must facilitate an open and honest dialogue between the
local culture and the Gospel. All cultures and religions have aspects of
their thinking and acting that need conversion and growth...

Condoms and AIDS
Are condoms justified as part of a strategy for dealing with the spread of
HIV-AIDS? A survey of the ongoing debate about AIDS and Condoms within

were among some of his statements...
