| 1 | * If Harry had never heard of the Bible or Christianity, how did he A. Know the Sinner's Prayer and B. Cite Luke 23:34? |
| 2 | * What denominations are the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs? We know the Slytherins are Catholics, and can assume Gryffindors are whatever denomination the author is/is pretending to be. Are the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws Mormons? Lutherans? Greek Orthodox? |
| 3 | ** The Hufflepuffs are non-evangelic Christianity, and the Ravenclaws are Christian fundamentalist strawmen. |
| 4 | * Why are the Slytherins Catholics? She knows that Slytherins are usually the bad guys, right? |
| 5 | ** Many Protestants (who are fundamentalists) see the Catholic Church as evil. |
| 6 | ** As other users have already pointed out, this fic takes a lot of influence from ComicBook/ChickTracts, which portray the Catholic Church as Satanic ''at best'' (more specifically, creator Jack Chick blamed Catholics for the Holocaust[[note]]which included Catholic victims[[/note]], the assassinations of multiple American presidents[[note]] specifically Lincoln and Kennedy, the latter of whom was Catholic himself[[/note]], the creation of Communism, the formation of the Ku Klux Klan[[note]]which was a deeply anti-Catholic organization, as it associated Catholicism with immigrants[[/note]], and basically every other horrible event that happened throughout human history.) He also believed in an AncientConspiracy that the Church was keeping the name of every Protestant in a computer database so they could wipe them out and bring forth the [[OneWorldOrder New World Order]], and that Satan himself created every single Catholic tradition as part of an evil scam. So it's possible that this fic is anti-Catholic simply because many fundamentalists hold the viewpoint that Catholics aren't "real" Christians, or it could be referencing (perhaps [[PoesLaw mocking]]) Jack Chick's theories. |
