"Christians must not just sit back and say it is enough for us to forgive and to forget," Arinze said in the documentary made by Rome film maker Mario Biasetti for Rome Reports, a Catholic film agency specializing in religious affairs.

"Sometimes it is our duty to do something practical. So it is not I who will tell all Christians what to do but some know legal means which can be taken in order to get the other person to respect the rights of others," Arinze said.

"This is one of the fundamental human rights: that we should be respected, our religious beliefs respected, and our founder Jesus Christ respected," he said, without elaborating on what legal means he had in mind.

With this idea, I have some problems.  First of all, what legal action is possible? 

Second, I thought "to forgive" was one of Jesus' main tenets?

And thirdly, respecting your religion must go hand in hand with respecting Dan Brown and the filmmakers' rights to say what they wish.  Respect works both ways.  Religion does not have a free pass.

And finally, does the cardinal remember that this is a work of fiction?  Perhaps he's forgotten what that means.
