Journal FortKnox's Journal: Vatican Vs Harry Potter 12
According to Y!, the Vatican has come to a conclusion on Harry Potter. Is it witchcraft or fun reading for children?
You'll be surprised!
They got a new cardinal that is "Bringing the Vatican back into the new age." Apparently, he has no ill will towards harry potter (I guess you can parallel it to LoTRs in that the wizards only do magic for good, and good always defeats evil, etc...), and gives it two thumbs up...

My statement of concern was more about the parochial secular-humanist nature of slashdot than about your intentions.
By all means, 'tear it apart' and look for weakness. It's pretty refreshing, actually.
