Bill Donohue got a surprise gift in the mail today, courtesy of New Line Cinema. Two copies of the Leaders’ Resource DVD for the New Line film, “The Nativity Story,” was sent, along with promotional material.

Donohue promptly called John Gooden in California to thank him, mentioning that though the Catholic League had its problems with New Line’s “The Golden Compass,” we were happy to promote “The Nativity Story” last year and would do so again now that it is out on DVD.

So we are happy to recommend “The Nativity Story,” and we are even happier that New Line Cinema was gracious enough to send the gift.
