After seeing this on the news I had to see if there was anything online about it but all I could find as yet was on aol and it doesn't allow outside linking so here's what's going on.
It's just more sanctimonius posturing from the God botherers. More people have died in the name of religion than other cause.
What do they think is going to happen, some crackhead thug is going to ditch his 9mil or his blade for a LAARK and a handful of hedgehog mines.
If the church thinks it has any real influence then why hasn't it been able to solve any of the problems in Manc?
Have they come out asking for games like GTA to be removed from Manchester shop shelves because in certain areas it's actually a mirror for all the crap that goes in in those games.
It's just a case of 'Not in my House.'
The church should stick to what it's good at, conning money out of the weak minded.
"The Church of England has threatened legal action against Sony after it used a cathedral without permission as the backdrop to an ultra-violent computer game.
Church leaders have accused Sony of the "desecration" of Manchester Cathedral, after the firm set one of its top-selling games inside the place of worship.
The new Play-Station3 game, titled Resistance: Fall of Man, which has sold more than one million copies, sees a virtual shoot-out between rival gunman with hundreds killed during a gun battle inside the cathedral in an orgy of blood.
Church officials described Sony's use of the building as "sick" and sacrilegious.
The Church say Sony did not ask for permission to use the cathedral and has demanded an apology and the removal of the game from shop shelves - otherwise legal action will be considered.
Sony has not returned calls to officials from the Church.
The firm is also branded irresponsible for choosing Manchester - a city plagued by gun violence which has left tens of youngsters dead.
The Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Rev Nigel McCulloch, said; "It is well known that Manchester has a gun crime problem.
"For a global manufacturer to re-create one of our great Cathedrals with photo-realistic quality and then encourage people to have guns battles in the building is beyond belief and highly irresponsible.
"Here in Manchester we do all we can to support communities through our parish clergy, we know the reality of gun crime and the devastating effects it can have on the lives - it is not a trivial matter."
