The misnamed Catholic League for "Religious and Civil Rights" is protesting the film version of Philip Pullman's award-winning book "The Golden Compass." Apparently, they are very concerned about the existence of an entertaining, engaging film which is critical of Christian institutions and was written by an atheist. It's possible, they think, that parents might be lured into buying the books for their children, thus further indoctrinating them into the pernicious agenda of questioning Christianity and Catholicism.
I've nothing really to add, I just thought it was the perfect excuse for showing this clip:

Perfect, a good laugh to start the morning.
There's a good chance they will be standing right beside people from the National Secular Society protesting against Hollywood censorship making the film not anti-Catholic enough.
Matt,
I didn't see this until today. You've been posting some good stuff. Thank you for the laughs and the "light" side of things. It's good to take a breather from what I've been absorbed in lately.. :}
