Da Vinci Code Can Be Shown At Cinemas, Constitutional Court Rules
The Sala Constitucional or Constitutional Court rejected an appeal by a Catholic follower that would have suspended the showing of the "Codigo Da Vinci" (the Da Vinci Code) in cinemas in Costa Rica.

The court magistrates did not accept the arguments in the "recurso amparo" (appeal) that the film went against the Political Constitution and should be censured.

The appellant argued that the film went against the morals and beliefs of Catholics.

The magistrates said that if the contents of the book and the movie were offensive to the appellant, he was well within his right to express his opposition and not see the movie.
