Death Fast

Transcribed from the New York Times, cuz I can't find it on its own anywhere:

"A Roman Catholic organization in India has urged Christians to starve themselves to death to protest the release of "The Da Vinci Code" in movie theaters there, Agence France-Presse reported."

Why?

"Joseph Dias, the secretary general of the Catholic Secular Forum who spoke of the 'fast unto death' as a demonstration of 'the extent that our feelings have been hurt,' said that it is 'a more Christian way of doing things rather than pulling down things and tearing them up.'"

Oh.

I'm sure the book can't be THAT bad.
