The students at St. Edward Catholic School in Nashville can no longer checkout the popular Harry Potter book series from their school's library.The only thing resembling "magic" in the Potter books is how much money has been made from the books, the movies, and the theme parks.
The seven-book series depicting the magical adventures of a young wizard and his friends was removed from the library because of their content, the Rev. Dan Reehil, a pastor at the Roman Catholic parish school, wrote in an email.
"These books present magic as both good and evil, which is not true, but in fact a clever deception. The curses and spells used in the books are actual curses and spells; which when read by a human being risk conjuring evil spirits into the presence of the person reading the text," the email states.
Reehil goes on to say in the email that he consulted several exorcists in the U.S. and Rome who recommended removing the books.
The forces of ignorance are still strong within the RCC. Some of them would still be burning witches if they could.

At least they didn't demand their libraries burn their copies. They have come little ways.
