Only In Trumpland

Read this on Yahoo News - could it be true?
A Roman Catholic school in Nashville, Tennessee, has removed all Harry Potter books from its library, over concerns that they contain actual spells and curses.
The school's pastor, Reverend Dan Reehill says that he consulted 'exorcists' from both the US and the Vatican before taking the step to remove the books, claiming the spells within could 'conjure evil spirits'.
Local news outlet The Tennessean obtained an email sent by Reehill, explaining: “These books present magic as both good and evil, which is not true, but in fact a clever deception.
“The curses and spells used in the books are actual curses and spells; which when read by a human being risk conjuring evil spirits into the presence of the person reading the text.”

No, not only in Trumpland - much of it far from Trumpland - and this nonsense is not recent. It's been going on for years.

in true AB tradition, speaking off the top of my head ....
I amazed it is RC - I sort of am one - and can confirm his holiness is NOT anti Harry Potter
schools in amerikee are non denominational - and this is strictly enforced - no religion in schools
( unlike England where the Butler Act 1944 specifically provides for them )
and we dont REALLY have pastors...
other than that - can't see much wrong with it

Harry potter....contains such things as talking animals, an invisibility cloak, curses, an evil being (Voldemort) etc and its considered evil.
The Bible...contains such things as talking animals (Balaam's ass, Eden's snake), an invisible God, curses (from God himself), an evil being (Satan), etc and its considered good.
Just saying!

// Pope Benedict is no Harry Potter fan. In 2003, two years before his election, the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger wrote in a letter to a German woman that the Harry Potter books contained “subtle seductions” capable of corrupting young Christians.//
