The Golden Compass is almost here, and the Catholics are PISSED! http://www.goldencompassmovie.com/ -----------------------------------
----------------------- Catholic League uges Golden Compass boycott The American Catholic League is calling for Christians to boycott upcoming fantasy film The Golden Compass. The League is concerned over portrayals of Christianity in the film and book, part of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. League officials claim the books "bash Christianity and promote atheism to kids". "Parents might be inclined to say, 'Hey, our kid really enjoyed the movie, why don't we buy him His Dark Materials for Christmas?' It introduces the kid to atheism. It's a stealth campaign," League president William Donohue said. ----------------------- ----------------------- British author Phillip Pullman has publicly denied allegations that his work, including The Golden Compass which is being adapted onto the big screen, is anti-Catholic and promotes atheism. The movie, slated for a Dec. 7 release, is based on the first book from Pullman's trilogy, His Dark Materials, in which a young girl's quest to uncover the reason behind her friend's disappearance concludes with the killing of a character named God who turns out to be a phony. Christian groups such as the Catholic League have criticized the movie and charged the intentional removal of anti-religious themes as a ploy to encourage kids to read Pullman's pro-atheism books. http://www.christianpost.com/article/20071105/29957_'Golden_Compass'_Author_Denies_Promoting_Atheism_in_Books.htm ---------------------- ---------------------- The club's fall book was "The Golden Compass," the first in Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. In the first volume, Pullman invites readers into a world as convincing and thoroughly realized as Narnia, Earthsea or Redwall. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21595083/ ---------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:246190 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
