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

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.
