Local board members at Staunton’s Green Hills of Grace Church are vocally championing J.K. Rowling, despite enforcing a household ban on Harry Potter books in the 1990s and 2000s.
I had one crazy aunt who went to HP book burnings back in the day. She wasn’t even anything that weird, just regular Catholic. Dunno what made her think she needed to do it because the rest of the family is also Catholic and they weren’t doing it.
Catholics got some extra crazy somewhere around 2000-2008, I can’t pinpoint when it happened, but the community changed somewhere around that time. Like there was normal conservative Catholic, and then suddenly I noticed that Evangelical type start to join up. I’m no longer practicing now and consider myself agnostic.

That’s hilarious because my priest at the time encouraged people to read the books.

Yeah that’s what I thought I also remembered about the time. I was just a kid though but it’s stuck with me for some reason lol
