Golden Compass promoters trying to advertise in Catholic press 

CNA STAFF, December 3 (CNA).-The promoters of the controversial movie, The Golden Compass, are making an effort to diminish the boycott being threatened by Catholics and other Christian groups. The advertising agency for the movie has sent an email to the top 50 weekly Catholic newspapers asking that they consider running an ad promoting the movie.

Advertising Media Plus, the agency promoting The Golden Compass, is trying to use a review by Harry Forbes, the director of the U.S. Bishops' Conference Office for Film & Broadcasting, as leverage against the boycott being called for by Catholics and Evangelicals.
