Harry Potter books and Buddhist figurine are burned for promoting sorcery and the occult at Catholic parish in Poland

WARSAW (AP): Priests at a Catholic parish in northern Poland have drawn criticism after they burned books – including from the Harry Potter series – and other items that their owners said had evil powers.

Images from the burning at Gdansk’s Mother of Church parish on Sunday were posted on Facebook by Catholic foundation SMS z Nieba (SMS from Heaven), which uses unconventional means to carry out its religious work.
