Film-makers, including Philip Pullman, should not be above corporate social responsibility.

After the atrocities of Nazism with its acts against humanity, it is right and proper for countries to prohibit the making of films glorifying this nihilistic ideology. Unfortunately, too many of the films critical of Nazism concentrate merely on the military defeat of Germany during World War II with not enough emphasis on the unspeakable experimentation and degradation of human beings reduced to wretches by Hitler's henchmen.

Or the similar practices copied and perfected by the Soviet, Chinese, Cuban, North Korean, Cambodian, and Viet Cong under the sway of Communism.

Similarly in a world cast mindlessly adrift and tending towards destruction, a steadying sane hand pointing out eternal truths which liberate men and women from savage passions should be praised, not denigrated; a body dealing with the spiritual and which has admitted and apologised when its ministers and members exceeded their brief.

The film The Golden Compass, starring Nicole Kidman and based on the trilogy of books by Pullman is aimed at children. It is scandalous and merits what the Gospel prescribes for hijacking innocent minds to truth-bending.

Through this film children are enticed to denounce God and Heaven very subtly so that parents may not pick up on what the film-maker's true intentions are. In a 2003 interview, Pullman said: "My books are about killing God."

I was saddened that the SCS guide did not reflect this. Undoubtedly even many of those who surrender their hard-earned cash to watch this film might not get what they paid for blindly.
