Tom Hanks is a persona non grata in all of the churches of the Vatican and Rome. The Vatican has banned the filming of Angels and Demons, Dan Brown's sequel to The Da Vinci Code because it is "an offense against God." The head of the Vatican's Prefecture For Economic Affairs said: [The stories] turned the Gospels upside down to poison the faith. It would be unacceptable to transform churches into film sets so that his blasphemous novels can be made into mendacious films in the name of business. The Church did not even read the script, as the name Dan Brown was enough to merit a ban.

What's new on the list. Pollution, drugs, and genetic manipulations, for starters.
