The Pope and the Potter

As the latest Harry Potter book shows its little cash cow head the fine folks at Lifesite have decided to make sure you know how the Catholic Church and God's Rottweiller feel about it.

You might remember when the last book came out Frier Tuck or whatever the Vaticans mouth piece is called said the POPE approved of the Harry Potter series, ooooops...



Witchcraft, hello, I don't think so pontif.

Anyways a complete look at this can be found here.

The text of 2 letters on the subject can be found below or by clicking on Benny's name you can see the original documents:

Esteemed and dear Ms. Kuby,

Many thanks for your kind letter of February 20th and the informative book which you sent me in the same mail. It is good, that you enlighten people about Harry Potter, because those are subtle seductions, which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly.

I would like to suggest that you write to Mr. Peter Fleedwood, (Pontifical Council of Culture, Piazza S. Calisto 16, I00153 Rome) directly and to send him your book.

Sincere Greetings and Blessings,
+ Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger

Esteemed and dear Ms. Kuby,
Somehow your letter got buried in the large pile of name-day , birthday and Easter mail. Finally this pile is taken care of, so that I can gladly allow you to refer to my judgment about Harry Potter.

Sincere Greetings and Blessings,
+ Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger

God Bless you HARRY POTTER....hahahahahahahhaha
