I'm also 16... Harry Potter in no way, shape, or form is ANY push WHATSOEVER against the catholic faith, except perhaps the whole "open mind" thing... They don't want people to read it because reading makes people smarter and when people are smarter they :GASP: question their rulers! (In this case the pope)

Possibly the thing that has pushed me most towards satanism would be the way most catholics in general act... My goodness, how can you even CALL yourself a christian when you drive a $40k vehicle, own a 200k house, plus a boat, and a restaraunt where you are a complete ass to your employees... Sorry just rambling about some of the idiots in my town... No offense to any catholics on AO, everyone here isn't an assinine hypocrit, but most catholics I know are morons... I talked to one person who said they agreed with GWB's foreign policy because he read the bible every day :|
