A Polish priest who led a public burning of books that included titles from the 'Harry Potter' series has apologized, saying the ritual was not intended to condemn specific authors, religions or social groups.
WARSAW, Poland — A priest in northern Poland who led a public burning of books that included titles from the"Harry Potter" series and other items parishioners wanted destroyed has apologized, saying the ritual was not intended to condemn specific authors, religions or social groups.
Jarosiewicz and other priests have drawn criticism for burning books, Buddhist figurines, an African mask, and other items Sunday outside a Catholic church in the city of Gdansk. They said they encouraged parishioners to bring in things that disturbed them so the priests could do away with bad influences.
