Father Roderick Vonhögen VS Dan Brown
Father Roderick Vonhögen, the catholic insider, is doing an podcast series about fact and fiction in Dan Brown’s novel ‘the da vinci code’. He does this by asking a question in each podcast and discusses the answer in the next podcast. Making it an interactive story with his listeners.
I read the book about a year ago and liked it very much. Dan Brown got me convinced for a short while, but after googling for an hour i knew that most of his book was based on hoaxes. A few weeks ago i watched ‘the real da vinci code’, a BBC documentory about the same subject. Its done by the same guy that was digging trenches on discovery channel a few years ago. That documentory smashes almost each ‘fact’ mentioned in the Da Vinci Code to pieces.
Also on the ‘catholic insider’ is doing a course called ‘Catholic faith for beginners’ in each podcast.
Father Roderick is a very cool priest! Being the son of a protestant minister, and not being a very religious person, i’m a modern western ’something’ believer, i’m almost challenged to go to a mass of father Roderick.
He is also the webmaster of a Starwars site.
