CALGARY — The Catholic school board in Calgary has followed the lead of a Catholic school board in Burlington, Ont., in pulling the children's fantasy book The Golden Compass off school shelves....
However, not everyone in Calgary's Catholic community was jumping on the book-banning bandwagon.
Calgary Bishop Fred Henry said there are more pressing issues facing Catholics than debating a children's fantasy novel.
My suspicion is that something is
not quite right about the paraphrasing of Bishop Henry's remarks. Where are his exact comments, I wonder? Maybe direct quotes wouldn't fit the
Globe and Mail's spin?
