Mary Elizabeth Williams is one of my semi-famous friends. She’s the Table Talk Host at Salon.com, and every time I page through the TV Guide or People magazine, there her name is. She’s also one of the few Catholics in my publishing circle of friends that gets me: you know, cussing and praying in the…

Donna Freitas, one of Beliefnet’s “Idol Chatter” bloggers, has compiled a beautiful gallery of the spiritual lessons of “The Golden Compass.” Donna writes that this movie, and the book by Philip Pullman that it’s based on, are far from anti-Christian, that they are replete with spiritual themes.
