'The Golden Compass' is anti-Christian: Vatican
Indo-Asian News Service
London, Dec 21 (IANS) The Vatican has slammed the new movie "The Golden
Compass" and asked New Line film studio not to distribute it.
The film, based on a novel of the same name by Philip Pullman, has topped the
box office in Britain but the Catholic church called it anti-Christian and
cold. The Vatican has issued a statement saying it hoped New Line would abandon
the idea of filming the sequels, reports contactmusic.com.
The statement said: "In Pullman's world, hope simply does not exist because
there is no salvation but only personal, individualistic capacity to control
the situation and dominate events."
It further called the movie the "most anti-Christian film possible". The film
portrays the church as an orthodox dictatorship, which conducts cruel
experiments on children and tries to suppress free will.
