Catholic priests burn Harry Potter books…

"Get rid of everything that does not please God and see how your life will change"

http://archive.today/2019.04.01-180416/https://news.yahoo.com/catholic-priests-burn-harry-potter-books-poland-131950572.html

Warsaw (AFP) - Catholic priests in Poland burned books they say are sacrilegious this weekend, including tomes from British author J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series of fantasy novels. "We obey the Word," priests said in a Facebook post showing photographs of the public book burning and quoting Biblical passages from the book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament. One passage exhorting believers to destroy the enemies of God includes the command to "burn their idols in the fire".

The post, on a page run by the Catholic "SMS from Heaven" evangelical group, stirred controversy and has gone viral. Photographs show three priests carrying a basket of books and other items, including an African-styled face mask through a church to an outside fire pit. Priests are seen saying prayers over the fire pit where other items, including a book from the Twilight vampire-themed fantasy romance series, a 'Hello Kitty' umbrella and a Hindu religious figurine, are also burning. Father Jan Kucharski, the priest in the Gdansk parish where the book burning took place, told the natemat.pl news website on Monday that they had burned items "linked to the occult and magic."

"Aside from the books, there were talismans and amulets. Parishioners brought them to put things in order" as part of spring cleaning, added the priest, who is also listed as an exorcist on the Gdansk diocese official website. The burning took place in front of his church after Sunday mass. Kucharczyk dismissed comparisons to the cultural censorship of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany. "We know what's harmful to our faithful so that's why we held an event like this. I'd even call it evangelical," he told natemat.pl.

Based Poland is at it again.

Though I am disappointed they didn't drill holes in the H*rry Poofter books before hand. It would have made burning it much smoother and easier.

Isn't this going far? Sure J.K Rowling is a degenerate who retcons her crap constantly to virtue signal, but to burn it? I wouldn't exactly call Harry Potter evil. And Hello Kitty? C'mon, I understand people who revolve their life around consumer crap are retarded, but I wouldn't say it's the Brand's fault. Those types are always going to find something to attach themselves to.

True, but I think it's a much more deep rooted issue that burning them isn't going to help. But by all means ago ahead, I just think it's a waste of time. What about burning useful things, like things like lgbt kids books.


30b742  No.791487

>>791484

Yeah, in the end burning those books isn't going to achieve much. But pop culture (especially movies and secular music) has done more to normalize faggotry and sexual immorality than all gender studies books in the world.

>One would argue because it's pointless and a waste of time

Seeing the types that the Harry Potter and Twilight books spawned I would say burning them is a kindness in itself. Then there is the symbolism of burning such things, the optics of doing it(seeing Ive already seen a bunch of hp fags screech about it), and there is the spiritual side of it. Nothing wrong with burning the modern gods that others worship today.

And seeing it seems they sourced all of these things from parishioners, it is getting rid of things that were probably spiritual stumbling blocks for them, and the very act of giving them up was a good.

So maybe its not pointless, it could be youre vision to narrow.

I don't think anyone could seriously say that burning an abortion clinic is wrong. You can make the argument that killing a baby killer is wrong, but if you just burn their baby killing dungeon down without hurting anyone where is the issue?

>>791518

Depends on how you do it and if you get caught.

If you are sloppy (ie gas can and matches) and get caught than you will make Christianity look bad and only justify abortion in the eyes of the normies more.

If you do it smart and make it look like an accident or an electrical fire and don't get caught than the law and media won't be able to connect it to christianity and the abortionists will collect their insurance and open up a new clinic.

Again, vigilante justice doesn't solve anything and will only backfire.

What Jesus did is the definition of vigilante action you mong. According to you Jesus should have just peacefully protested outside the temple and campaigned for politicians who promised to make buying and selling in the temple illegal.

This is literally what Jesus did. And we're supposed to be like Jesus.

It is not some private enforcement like you are suggesting, he holds an authority in the temple, and an authority over all. Are you in public office? Have the people entrusted the well being of their collective body to you? Under what authority do you want to start destroying buildings?

Heads: the pope is telling people not to point fingers at violent child molesters of all kinds, naming their tribes one at a time as he commands his magic hat cult to forgive/ignore them.

The priests and the Roman government, society's designated law-making institutions, didn't agree, which is what makes what Jesus did vigilantism by definition.

>Are you in public office? Have the people entrusted the well being of their collective body to you?

Was Jesus in public office? Had the people entrusted the well being of their collective body to Jesus?

>Under what authority do you want to start destroying buildings?

Under the authority of God, which is higher than the authority of society's designated lawmaking institutions.

That's great and all, but the people who sold/made these books are gaining a profit from these Catholic priests. (unless, of course, the books were voluntarily given to burn.)

There is no reason to think he didn't use violence against the people involved, which is how you can actually drive them out. Which is why, through history, it is what has been traditionally understood that happened.


7cff6b  No.792303

>>792277

The items that were burned belonged to the laity, but was given to the priests. So no extra profit was given to JK or her publishers.

From the article:

>"Aside from the books, there were talismans and amulets. Parishioners brought them to put things in order" as part of spring cleaning, added the priest, who is also listed as an exorcist on the Gdansk diocese official website.

The violence He used was to flip tables over and scatter what the merchants were selling.

Not a single Father claimed that the whip was for the people, that's ridiculous. Whips were used to get animals to run. The thought of Jesus whipping the ass of merchants might be satisfying but it is cartoony and completely displaced from the context.
