No Sequel to 'The Golden Compass'

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 /Standard Newswire/ -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on reports that there will be no sequel to "The Golden Compass," the movie based on the first book of a trilogy by English author Philip Pullman:

Two years ago, the Catholic League launched a boycott of "The Golden Compass" in the hope that Christian parents would keep their children away from the film and thus not be inclined to buy them His Dark Materials, the trilogy of pro-atheist books aimed at young people. We also wanted to discourage the possibility that producers would make a movie of "The Subtle Knife," the second book of the trilogy. We knew we succeeded in the first goal, and had every reason to believe we were going to win on the second one. Now Pullman has confirmed our victory: there will be no sequel.

Pullman has been widely quoted in Britain taking aim at me for my alleged "triumphalism." The accusation is accurate. I am positively gloating. Cheers, everyone!
