The Pope & Harry Potter

No, this isn't the title for J. K. Rowling's next book. Although it does seem to be a constant theme in the secular media. In 2003 JPII was falsely quoted as being in favor of the Harry Potter series. A news article from a few years ago has recently resurfaced which Pope Benedict the 16th goes on record as disapproving the series. An article in Reuters sets out the Popes thoughts on Harry Potter. Our Holy Father is quoted as saying “It is good that you enlighten people about Harry Potter, because these are subtle seductions which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly,”. I have read several of the Harry Potter series and have found that with out a properly mature and informed consious (which is a rare thing indeed) it would be difficult to see the damage the devil can do to a soul using the imagination and Harry Potter. I guess the words of our Lord Jesus Christ can sum this up better than I. "Whoever causes one of these little ones who belive in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." Pray for our little ones always. Peace & Prayers, CLS
