in his new found role as a sports coloumnist, the Pope gets in on the act as he delves into the world of film criticism:
Vampire film ‘New Moon,’ the sequel to ‘Twilght,’ has come under fire from the Vatican church.
Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, of the Pontifical Council of Culture, described the film as a “deviant moral vacuum”.
“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,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
He added: “Men and women are transformed with horrible masks and it is once again that age-old trick or ideal formula of using extremes to make an impact at the box office.
“This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such is something that should be of concern.”
Next week we bring you the Dali Llama's thoughts on Formula 1 motor racing as well as a thought provoking article on the works of Stephen king by the Unification Church's Sun Myung Moon.

were given. Satan - 10."
