The scores of fans can now watch 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,' as it releases today, however, the Vatican has a few choice words about the film.

Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, the Vatican's culture council leader released a statement saying of 'New Moon': "This theme of vampires in Twilight combines a mixture of excesses that, as ever is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric element." He adds, "This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern."
