A leading Catholic cleric has launched a fierce attack on Disney, claiming it has corrupted children and encouraged greed


In a new book, Christopher Jamison, a prominent Catholic cleric in England, has become a vocal critic of Disney and what he sees as the company's encouragement of materialism in children. While Jamison says that the Disney movies often have a moral message of good triumphing over evil, the products that go along with the movies encourage children to think that material objects will give them happiness and a place in the Disney world. Jamison says: "Where once morality and meaning were available as part of our free cultural inheritance, now corporations sell them to us as products", Via Jezebel

I am tired of reading about this stuff. Really. What a load of crap. When is the Catholic Church going to lighten up a little. Funny they seem more and more like their Islamic brothers who they are so disaproving of.
