Pope Denounces Harry Potter

You have to wonder when you read things like that. This article points to several things:
1) The new Pope is a fundie nutbag who will send the Catholic Church spiralling back to the Middle Ages, except he won't have so much power. This will turn off a lot of Democratic Catholics who will either leave the church or complain bitterly -- or both.

2) There must not be a whole lot of other world issues to rant about. Never mind the senseless deaths in Iraq...

3) There are several sites that say that J.K, Rowling is a witch who is espousing her own doctrine in the books. How the hell would any good Christian know that?

4) Again, as a corollary to number 3, why would anyone think that the Harry Potter books are corrupt or cause problems with a relationship to God? Did they start to experience a spiritual crisis while reading it?

Of course, before anyone starts frothing at the mouth, be warned that the media is trying to sensationalize all this. It was just a series of letters, referring to a book that the Pope had received (while still Cardinal). No official announcements have been made by the Vatican concerning Harry Potter.

And, to play Old Scratch's advocate, a deal with the devil just might account for the series' popularity...
