Who Said the Cafeteria is Closed?: Weighing Harry Potter Against the Iraq War
Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder, we have people arguing that the Pope's opinion on Harry Potter should be seen as more morally compelling than his opinion on the war in Iraq! Really! It's on Amy Welborn's blog.

I saw that too. Also have no idea what to say....
Hey Mark,
I was really just wondering aloud if there might be people who actually thought that HP was more important than the Iraq war... it seemed pretty obvious to me that the HP debate was much ado about nothing. I guess I must have hit a raw nerve.
Susan, a few things come to mind but my discretion, fortunately, gets the better of me.
Seriously though, there are more important things for people to get worked up about. They could give up some of their blog-time to come help out at our pregnancy counseling center. Or volunteer at a soup kitchen, a Habitat work-site, etc. Or go kneel/sit in front of the Eucharist a few hours and talk with Jesus.

Mark,
BTW, I find your blog interesting. My husband and I are really intrigued with how the Jesuits were founded. I like how on your blog you highlight the positive things that good Jesuit priests are doing. Your order has such a rich history. It is truly something to be proud of.
God bless, Maureen Martin
Hey Steve,
I totally agree with you about your list of "better things to do." Good post.
God bless, Maureen Martin
BTW, The Prayer for Darfur weekend is *this* weekend. So, here again is something *better* we can do.
God bless, Maureen Martin
P.S. Sorry for all the posts.
Well, Maureen, you've certainly made an impression. :)
Thanks for the comments.
Praying for Darfur is definitely something we all should do!!
