My daughter has several friends who weren’t allowed to read those books, and none of them were Catholic yet all were children of immigrants and Christians of some sort. Yes, even Hispanics are leaving the Catholic Church in large numbers apparently.
Oddly enough, one of her Pakistani immigrant friends loves Harry Potter and has read them over and over again. I thought that was pretty cool.
Oh now I see why they burned the books it is out of ignorance. I thought it was because of what I saw today on facebook where supposedly JK Rowling came out to say that Harry Potter is Bisexual. April Fools I don't know?
Ignorance is one thing but promoting a bisexual lifestyle to kids is another... or maybe not, it is all ignorant.
So what? Libs ban and burn books all the time in America. Somehow, we consider Poles burning books as crazy, but it is perfectly accepted and normal in PC America in which classics like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are banned as "offensive".
The world was a much better place when people were not so "offended" and sensitive. Remember the discussion in "Farenheit 451" when the protagonist asked the librarian how the society came to burning books? The librarian answered that it started with "offended minority parties", whose sensitivities were placated by restricting some books they found offensive.

If your child can "choose" to be bisexual, then your child was always bisexual but merely repressed.
A bit off-topic but I never understood why the Bible was never on a list of banned books, forget the fact that it’s a religious text. But the Stories of genocide, families being killed, stories of incest, etc. should be more than enough to put it on a banned book list somewhere.

I'd hardly call the Catholic Church in Poland "libs".

You mean kinda like fundamentalist Christian groups burning books they check out of the public library because they object to the books' content? Or fundamentalist Christian clergy burning copies of the Qur'an? Or churches in South Carolina burning copies of Harry Potter books? Maybe we could go back even farther and discuss how churches organized burnings of Beatles records and books. Or churches organizing burnings of comic books in the good old post-war U.S. of A.

Did the Catholic priest buy those books and/or collect them with no threat or force? Then there is no problem with him expressing his conservative stupidity through burning his own garbage.
I suppose a threat which is a substance-less lie (such as hell) would still be a threat, but it's less of a threat than a real and provable one. So maybe I would merely popo such a threat to unsuspecting and unaware Parishes and their malleable children.
