Among the countless reviews of the latest Potter flick, The Vatican weighed in with theirs and gave it two thumbs up. The Pope has said in the past that the series has the power to “corrupt the Christian faith in souls even before it could properly grow.” But a review in the Vatican’s official newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, praised the new movie for showing the lines of good and evil and the message that the fight for good requires sacrifice.
The Catholic Church has been reviewing movies for decades. There’s even an office called the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. They review movies to help parents and adults trying to find morally acceptable films and have created their own rating scale. In 1995, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of cinema, the Vatican released their list of the 45 Best Movies. Even “2001: A Space Odyssey” makes the cut, showing just how good the Pope’s taste can be. Go to http://www.usccb.org/ for more.
