Declaration from Heads of Churches in Egypt
The heads of the Coptic, Catholic and Episcopal Churches in Egypt met on Tuesday 30 May 2006 at the papal residence in Abbassiya.
This meeting was preceded with another meeting between H.H. Pope Shenouda III with the leaders of the Evangelical Church in Egypt on Tuesday 23 May 2006. The meeting was revolving around the Egyptian Churches’ stance on the issue of Davinci’s Cipher; a film based on a book by Dan Brown. All those who participated in the meeting agreed on the following:
First
The film is considered a falsification of history and archaeology. The story of the film was based on incorrect scientific vanities and scientists were able to prove this falsification through documental ways.
Second
It is quite obvious that the story of the film and the sequence of events hide Jewish ways of thinking aiming at a disdain for religion and its spiritual and moral values. It is noticed that the film ends with the Jewish logo and it propagandizes the Jewish thought.
Third
This film does not contain any of the creative measures of art but violence and viciousness.
Fourth
We reject the base of the film as it is based on a materialistic and atheistic trend that incites people to establish a kind of materialistic culture without taking the meaning of existence and eternal life into consideration.
