Blaine,
You mentioned in an earlier post, which appears below, " Are you aware the Catholic Church destroyed approximately 80 religious works/ gospels when compiling the Bible.? ". Where did you get this figure? I do not believe it is factual. If you are basing this statement on the December 22 article in Time, you'd better read it again. This statement is nothing more than "a key plot point" in the book "The Da Vinci Code". This is fiction. Have you always had a difficult time separating fiction from fact?
