Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Archbishop of Genoa, yesterday denounced Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code as "shameful and full of lies." A quote run by an Italian newspaper seems kind of ironic to me.

From the BBC:
The cardinal told an Italian newspaper: "It astonishes and worries me that so many people believe these lies."

Cardinal Bertone told Il Giornale: "The book is everywhere. There is a very real risk that many people who read it will believe that the fables it contains are true."
...(end quote)

Here we have a man who preaches a story we are expected to accept on faith and he denounces another story that some people gullibly accept as true.
