The Da Vinci Code

• NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Learn Wall Street, a new after-school program that teaches teenagers about finance and investing, launched its first semester in September.
• "Financial knowledge is somewhat unique in comparison to other subjects like math or history," says Raji Khabbaz, co-founder of Learn Wall Street.
• Learn Wall Street trying to make finance and investing interesting in the same way.
• Learn Wall Street is open to teenagers in grades 9-12.

• The film’s protagonist, Father Gabriele Amorth (Russell Crowe), is based on a real Catholic exorcist who was a founding member of the very organisation condemning the movie as inaccurate.
• So cinema-goers had fair warning that it would be far from uncontentious.
• Add into the mix secret chambers hiding cobweb-strewn skeletons and dark secrets and it’s squarely in Temple of Doom territory.
• These Hollywood depictions can lead to real world dangers – as tragedies like the murder of Victoria Climbié in 2000 prove all too graphically.

How true to life is The Pope’s Exorcist?

• The International Association of Exorcists took some time to gain papal endorsement from John Paul II.
• Even now it is recognised as a “private association of the Christian faithful” rather than a group coordinated by ecclesiastical authorities.
• An African bishop (Cornell John) is portrayed as supportive of Father Amorth and a counterbalance to a sceptical American cardinal.

Demons and the modern church

• In the contemporary world, the Roman Catholic Church has to pay regard to the benefits of modern science and the empirical method.
• The church has even sometimes helped to foster this over the years, for example through Gregor Mendel, the monk who laid the foundation for modern genetics.
• Yet the church has also made space for those who argue that this is not the only lens through which to view the world.
• Christians including Roman Catholics differ as to whether the “invisible” might mean atoms, demons, or both.
