Use of Cathedral in PC Game is 'Sick', Says CofE ; RELIGION

Jun 10, 05:47 AM

Current Headlines: The Church of England accused Sony yesterday of using Manchester Cathedral as the backdrop to a violent computer game, and said if it is not withdrawn, legal action would be considered. The popular new PlayStation 3 game, 'Resistance: Fall of Man', shows a virtual shootout between rival gunmen with hundreds of people killed in the cathedral, in a city with a real gun-crime problem. Church officials called Sony's alleged use of the building "sick" and sacrilegious. They also want an apology.
