Harry Potter Corrupts Kids.....

According to the Catholic Church, J.K. Rowling's teenaged wizard is a danger, "like drug addiction".

Would that be the same sort of drug addiction so many former Catholic alter boys have faced while trying to deal with horrendous abuses inflicted by priests?

Would that be the same sort of drug addiction that faced many of the young women who were held in indentured servitude and subjected to emotional and physical cruelty by the Sisters of Magdalene?

Would that be the same sort of drug addiction that makes life bearable for Aboriginal men and women who survived the horrors of Catholic residential schools?

Would that be the same sort of drug addiction used as an escape not only by mothers forced to bear unwanted children, but by those unwanted children when the realities of their situations threaten to destroy them?

Would that be the same sort of drug addiction that runs rampant due to the ongoing Catholic war against Protestants in Northern Ireland, and the thousands of deaths for which Catholics are responsible?

Pope Benedict XVI truly needs to clean up the myriad of social ills his church has caused and continues to cause on a daily basis before he starts pontificating about inane and untrue "threats" caused by fictional tales of a boy wizard.
