THE DA VINCI CODE: REVENGE OF THE VATICAN

[Don Davis]

Now that The Da Vinci Code, which threatens to outsell The Bible itself, is about to hit the big screen, speculation is rampant as to just how the Church hierarchy will react. Will there be a boycott, or will the Church merely ban the eating of those nine-week-old theater hotdogs during the premiere this coming Friday? -- which would actually be a good thing.

Well, this reporter, who has a well-placed source within the bowels of Opus Dei, has the skinny communion wafer on the Vatican counterattack. Remember, you heard it here first, and you can bet the Confessional on it:

From the Crusades to the Inquisition

The Excommunication of Galileo

The collaboration with Nazis

Condoning Pastrami on White with Mayo

But while the Church has tried

To make amends for such sins

It still faces some bumpy roads

How do they confiscate

And conflagrate

Forty Million Da Vinci Codes?



So next time we see

A plume of smoke

It won't signal a new Pope being crowned

And the smoke won't be

Black or White

But the color of a well-done Dan Browned





CARTOONWORTHY: Make sure you check out the talented cartoonist Dave Dugan at Zencomix.com, with whom I'm now collaborating. Since I couldn't even stay within the lines while coloring in kindergarten, Dave has graciously agreed to occasionally lend his artistic prowess to some of my ideas, such as "Spanish Star-Spangled Banner."
