The evil empire in this movie for children is called the "Magisterium," which is exactly the word Catholics use to describe the teaching authority of the Pope and his bishops. The books are more explicit, in which the evil institution is also called "The Church" and the higher-ups are the "Vatican Council."

Just a coincidence I'm sure. I don't know why Christians are up in arms about this. Anyway, it's just a movie. < /s>

Yeah. I tried to make that point, but it didn’t get through. My mistake due to bad memory didn’t help my case any, but the point is still valid.

God Bless. And Merry Christmas!

I will definitely wait for Prince Caspian, especially if it's as good as The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

In spite of what some may say or think of The Golden Compass, I have no intention of contributing a red cent or plugged nickel, especially to an Atheist who talks out of both sides of his mouth.
