A catholic group in the US are accusing Philip Pullman and the makers of The Golden Compass of trying to brainwash children. Hmm.. who would do a thing like that? They are trying to ban it , and are encouraging parents to stop their children seeing it. '' The Catholic League, which bills itself as America's largest Catholic civil rights organisation, has nevertheless launched a nationwide boycott campaign. Nicole Kidman and Dakota Blue Richards star in the film The League says that parents might be taken in by the toned-down film - but will then be fooled into buying the "overtly atheistic and anti-Christian" books. League President Bill Donohue said: "Eighty-five per cent of the people in this country are Catholic or Protestant and I'd like them to stay at home, or go see some other movie. "Pullman is using this film as a sort of stealth campaign. He likes to play the game that he's really not atheistic and anti-Catholic. But yes he is and we have researched this. "This movie is the bait for the books." '' See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7115300.stm
