Church Hires JK Rowling To Rewrite The Bible
January 21, 2014 The latest PR coup for Pope Francis has seen him hire famous and revered children’s author JK Rowling to rewrite the Bible. It is hoped the author, most famous for her Harry Potter series, can make it more accessible and believable for a new generation of Catholics and Christians. While the specifics of the rewrite are not yet known, it is believed Rowling is tasked with producing a compelling tale that young Catholics and Christians can engage with. Figures such as dementors and other popular creations may take the place of less realistic Biblical creatures such as unicorns and the leviathon. “We are very happy Miss Rowling has agreed to the rewrite, we keenly await the first draft,” a Vatican insider told WWN.

Here's another nice mess the Pope's got the Catholic Church into?....Stands to reason right? They don't think the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, so why not get the Writer of Harry Potter to give her own interpretation...it'll probably fit in right with their own anyway.
Another nail in the FP coffin......
Good article Elizabeth!!

Well, I guess the Pope and Kenneth Copeland will be preaching out of a new bible.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when I'd rather have The Message on my bookshelf.

Becka, your comment is laugh out loud funny!!!
Elizabeth, thank you for posting this article, but honestly, I thought it was an "Onion" piece 
(btw, I switched to comic sans because I thought it would be a more appropriate font for this thread)

I sincerely apologize. I had checked out some of the other articles in this paper, and they looked okay.
When Jim mentioned The Onion, I pulled it up again. The sites looked okay, until I pulled up a video site, and that one didn't. I pulled up disclaimer and it had this, "Waterford Whispers News is a fabricated satirical newspaper and comedy website published by Waterford Whispers News."
Again, I sincerely apologize.
And Becka, I really laughed at what you wrote, too.

Becka, I am laughing so hard. Ya know, my dad used to say that to us all the time: "Don't worry. Everything's gonna be alllllllright."
Here I was all ready for us all to simultaneously give a collective sigh after the J.K. Rowling's thing. Nothing would surprise me now....
Our collective sigh.."hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

The use of Comic Sans is about THIS FAR away from a total lifetime ban... seriously though - why does the Bible need a rewrite? Was it not done properly in the first place? |

Yeah, but Benjamin, we're talking the Catholic Church. . . or am I sounding too cynical?

No Elizabeth, you're not, I thought that same thing when I read that. We're also talking about the same people who reached out to ... Kenneth Copeland!

That made me laugh out loud.
The story about the Pope and Kenneth Copeland is so bizarre, it almost sounds like it could have come off of the Onion, or a paper like it.
