Here you can find the article I wrote on the controversy. It has been published on the English Rome-based magazine The Roman Forum (January Issue):

The Roman Forum serves the international community in Rome and has an approx. 30,000 readers a month. I hope I've convinced many to set aside the doubts and fears and enjoy almost 2 hours of pure entertainment.

Let me know what you think about it!

Catholic League and Merry Christmas to you all!

I apologize for the delay, I've been very busy these last days and have had no chance to update the blog. I've finished my article and will publish it here on the blog at the beginning of January.
Today's topic: the Catholic League has published a pamphlet called "The Golden Compass: Agenda Unmasked", you'll find a prejudiced read (rich in misunderstandings) of Pullman's masterpiece. It is available for download (PDF) at http://www.catholicleague.org/.
There are the same folks who boycotted the movie and brought upon the controversy surrounding the movie release (narrow-minded sad people).
I read the entire pamphlet and was shocked at the teeming lies and naive misinterpretations: deep ignorance is the only reason.

Merry xmas to you all and I promise I'll update this more regularly!

Welcome!

After days of reading, researching and endless debates I've decided to open a blog concerning the controversy surrounding the Golden Compass. This blog will also be about Wicca and the Pagan roots of Christianity once I get around with the controversy.

I have to write an article (due tomorrow) on this topic for an English magazine published in Rome.
And on the 20th of December I'll go watch the Golden Compass.

Welcome to you all to a blog of truth, I'm tired with the lies and prejudices of institutions like the Catholic League and I want Christians to know what really is "His Dark Materials"
