Pope vs Potter
Post date:
Author: ryanvis
This is a little dated, but Pope Benedict isn’t a fan of Harry Potter. Go figure, eh? “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,” wrote Cardinal Ratzinger.
