Don’t Let Extremists Censor The Next Golden Compass
The Catholic League complains that The Golden Compass contains ideas that disagree with Catholic theology, as so ought not to be offered by Scholastic. It’s a bold reassertion of the idea that Catholics ought to be able to control what ideas even non-Catholics are exposed to. Fortunately, many Catholics are rejecting the Catholic League’s attempts to censor The Golden Compass. Honest thinkers don’t need censorship to protect them. Their minds are strong enough to distinguish worthwhile ideas from trash. The consensus seems to be that The Golden Compass contains a worthwhile presentation of ideas.
