I’m not sure if the Vatican is just dense, or if this guy was paid off by J.K. Rowling’s publicists. I thought the Catholics would have some grasp of what supression does for a group of believers. (The Vatican still has a Chief Exorcist?)
“Behind Harry Potter hides the signature of the king of the darkness, the devil,” Father Gabriele Amorth, the Pope’s “caster-out of demons”, said.
The books contained many positive references to the satanic art, falsely drawing a distinction between black and white magic, he told the Daily Mail in London. Father Amorth also said he was convinced that Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler were possessed by the devil.
So Harry Potter is kin to Stalin and Hitler? Give me a break.
Dumb remarks like this is what tuns people any from Christ
Kiss yer Snow Whites and Pinocchios goodbye, Alice, cause good ‘ol dark ages is here again!
This is slightly less ridiculous than a family friend I knew who believed that those little kewpie-like “Troll” dolls they used to give as prizes in amusement park booths were evil.
