I did not choose to look at the site. I felt that it seemed pretty clear from the responses here that I would not find any valued and intelligently stated opinions there. So, as I give my two cents, keep in mind it's catalyst was this thread and not the website in discussion.
As A# stated, there are people who believe that Catholicism has pagan practices rooted in their theology. It, to them, then changes the message of their gospel and becomes one that is in opposition of truth.
Anything can be researched, by "net", books and articles, interviews, archives, etc. If this is anything that anyone has an interest to know more about, one could certainly discover what the views are if they were so inclined.
(Please note: I have not stated a personal belief. I have simply provided the knowledge of a known belief in existence.)
Some people also believe that anything to do with "magic" is witchcraft. Those would provide biblical reference to witchcraft as harmful, dangerous and in opposition to the truth of Jesus Christ. Further some might say, "Christian" or not, to participate in such things in anyway would be in opposition to the truth as well.
(Again, please note that I am providing information I have come to know of in my own researches of life. I tend to research ALOT of things and often will find myself chasing a tidbit offshoot of my original research subject. I like to be informed, it helps me make important decisions intelligently. One can not always trust their "feelings".)
Personally, I do not indulge in much fantasy. I do not indulge in CON, LOTR trilogy or HP. These are not something I enjoy, for various reasons. One of which is, I do not care for battle scenes.
Finally, please remember, I am not saying that any of the above information is what anyone on the website in discussion is "saying". I have not chosen to give that site my time and attention. Therefore, I am not defending or championing their opinions. I am providing information I have based on the two common "issues" I see discussed here.
Thanks for listening.

Not that the folk from that website would be crazy about pullman either, I'm sure.
