Pederast Pontification

The Catholic Church has decreed that Harry Potter is the devil:

Pope Benedict XVI's chief exorcist, Rev. Gabriele Amorth, has called fictional wizard-in-training Harry Potter the "king of darkness, the devil."

Amorth compared the Potter character to dictators Stalin and Hitler, saying they were possessed by the devil.

While I'll be the first to say that the Potter series is nothing more than atrociously derivative hack fantasy, it's certainly not so bad that I'd accuse it of being the spawn of demons. Rowling is untalented, not evil. And comparing a fictional teenaged character in a children's book to the two bloodiest dictators in history... well, that's just plain silly.

"You can tell by their behavior and their actions, from the horrors they committed and the atrocities that were committed on their orders. That's why we need to defend society from demons," said Amorth, who has reportedly performed 30,000 exorcisms.

A little math tells us that even if this guy performed one exorcism a day, every single day of every year, it would still require 82.19 years to complete 30,000 exorcisms. I believe I'm going to have to throw the bullshit flag on this one. Besides, how seriously can you take someone whose titles are "chief exorcist" and "president of the International Association of Exorcists"? And he probably wears a funny hat, too.

I think the leaders of the Great Faith of Cathol are mad just because Mr. Potter is one young boy whom they can't sodomize.

Oops! Did I say that last bit out loud?

remember how rev. moon would have mass wedding ceremonies back in the day? Maybe Amorth (that can't be his real name) has mass exorcisms.
