"Musictoob serves up juicy tidbits from the music scene" - The Wall Street Journal
Vampire movie New Moon has been condemned by the Vatican as a deviant moral vaccuum.
The latest film in the Twilight saga stars British actor Robert Pattinson as a blood-sucker who falls in love with a beautiful teenage girl.
It is based on the hugely popular series of books by Stephanie Meyer, an American Mormon and mother of three. But that means little to the Catholic Church in Italy.
‘This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and, as such, is something that should be of concern,’ said Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, of the pontifical council of culture yesterday.
‘This theme of vampires in Twilight combines a mixture of excesses that, as ever, is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric element.’
Three weeks ago the Vatican condemned Halloween as ‘anti-Christian and dangerous’ and it urged parents not to dress their children as ghosts, goblins and vampires.
Such statements are not likely to dent New Moon’s massive box office appeal. The first Twilight movie grossed more than $550million (£330million) in US box office and DVD sales.
Mormon envy!
Hey.. great post. Lately it is very hard to run into passionate opinions. Anyone tested twilight dvd US promo?
I love Twilight! I can’t wait for Twilight Eclipse! I’m so in love with Taylor Lautner, lol.
