Catholic and LDS Groups Call For Boycott Of Movie The Golden Compass
November 30, 2007
The ominous e-mail from his wife’s LDS Relief Society in Provo bothered Brandon Sanderson.
“Here’s a movie you will want to skip,” it said, urging Mormons to stay away from “The Golden Compass,” a fantasy film based on the novels by Philip Pullman, due to open Dec. 7. The e-mail claimed that because Pullman is an avowed atheist, he was using his fiction to subtly promote anti-God beliefs.
That same e-mail warning circulated among LDS groups from Delta to Bountiful. The e-mails claim the anti-religious themes have been toned down for the film, but the goal is to get children to read Pullman’s trilogy, “His Dark Materials,” which attack organized religion and belief in God.
“I feel this information about this movie is too important for you not to know about it,” Kevin Prusse, principal of Bountiful’s Muir Park Elementary School, wrote in an e-mail.
The same urgent warning raced through the Catholic community.

Pullman is an athiest, and no doubt, this will have an effect on the novel the golden compass, and people who read the book, will be influenced, especially young people, it is like this saying out of the heart speaks the mouth, what a person believes is powerful, and life and death is in the power of the tongue, it can be very subtle, so look out for this, discern what is good and what is bad, and ask someone for advice if you don’t know, enough yourself.
