Just to clarify, my comments weren't at all meant to bash Catholics or the Pope. I get equally irked, moreso perhaps, by similar nonsense from Protestants/Evangelicals.
I get fed up with the whole bunch of them as well! I am getting tired of being told that what I enjoying reading or my kids enjoy reading is bad for them. I have a son who is a graduate assistant at OU who is teaching Comp I and graduated from the Honors College a year ago with a 3.9 GPA, another daughter who has a 3.6 GPA, and another one that is in the Navy and finishing her degree -- all love to read various types of books and all have enjoyed Harry Potter.
