Contrast that with the following glowing review of the film by a nun, from this week’s Los Angeles Archdiocesan newspaper. That’s right, Cardinal Mahony’s archdiocese. Why am I not surprised?
EXCERPT:
“The Golden Compass” film, however, demonstrates the values and virtues heroism, self-sacrifice and courage that transcend the challenges the characters face. If future films are made, we can hope that they will be consistent with this first film.
Moreover, “The Golden Compass” film challenges believing adults to articulate their faith and values and to brush up on Church history, theology and literature and literary forms. It is a difficult assignment, but an excellent way to engage in our culture. To “just say no” is not a valid option in today’s media world.

Does that mean I HAVE to see The Golden Compass?
