AmP mentioned in LifeSiteNews coverage of agencies withdrawing Golden Compass ads

Good tidings, and an appreciated mention from LifeSiteNews:

Controversial advertisements suggested to the nation's top 50 Catholic diocesan papers advertising the upcoming movie "The Golden Compass" have been pulled.

... Medlinger [who is responsible for the day-to-day activities] explained that when a sales representative first approached him about pitching advertisements for the film, "I said we have to find out what the USCCB movie rating is."

"When our sales rep heard that the rating from the Bishops Conference was A II he sent out that note," continued Medlinger. "Afterwards we had a conversation and we are not placing those ads."

Asked what caused him to change his mind despite the positive USCCB review, Medlinger was hesitant and would only respond: "It was my decision, it was just business we didn't want to do."

Faithful Catholic activists and bloggers can take a pat on the back for the outcome.

...

LifeSiteNews.com readers, activists and Bloggers such as Amy Welborn, Thomas Peters of American Papist, among many others, have pursued both the USCCB review and the proposed ads stirring a healthy controversy.

What can I say? Sometimes the system works.

I certainly rest better knowing that Catholic publications will not help put dollars into the coffers of an author who wrote his books to promote atheism and mock the Catholic Church.

Seriously, good job.
