Neither have you yet fully understood, or maybe I have expressed my self poorly. Lord of the Rings are definitively evil. Wizardry and magic,superpowers and fighting, this is just like with anime or other evil worldly movies and series, but worse still, since Lord of the Rings has a LOT of Catholic symbolism, its disguise itself in wolfs clothing, making people think, that just because its has catholic symbolism, that it would be right or even good for ones soul. Don't be deceived, satan is the prince of this world, and nothing more deceived and brainwashes people then evil media and video games and the worldly school system. Worldly moviesand series are not only dangerous from what it contains, but more sofrom what it produce in the soul. Lord of the rings is spiritual poison for the soul, it does not drag your mind toward Godly things but only toward the world. I can promise you that the books Saint Theresa was reading delighting in, was nothing even the least in comparison of the fantasy and evil of Lord of the rings.

The more unreal and the more fantasy a film or book is, the more your mind be fixed in trying to understand things outside of this world which is not, firstly, real, and secondly, which is not not of God, which clouds your mind even more against God, since God is neither of this world. To be able to unite with God in this life, we must empty ourself of all, not even thinking of anything of this world, being completely empty, this is how one starts to unite with God in this life. I cannot express this very well, read St. Johns of the Cross writings, it explains it all.

Maybe you don't know this, but the reason that LOTR has Catholic symbolism is because J.R.R. Tolkien was a DEVOUT CATHOLIC!!! The only way he could get people that were not Catholic to read his book was to make it interesting to a wide variety of people. But of course a story about good vs. evil, friendship, and teamwork is totally evil because people can use magic? I owe some of my faith to LOTR and every other book Tolkien ever wrote. He is probably the greatest author of his and our generation. But if something you read, watch, or listen to has a shred of the world in it is inherently evil. Are you saying that Spongebob Squarepants or Fairly Odd parents will make you go to hell. They are entertaining, not about God, but are entertaining.


Ridiculous!

Now that that is out of my system, I can speak rationally. I do understand where you are coming from about things of this world being evil. I do agree with you, which is why you need a strong moral fiber and good judgment. Not everything that is not completely centered around Jesus will immediately make you bow to a statue of Satan. I rarely watch EWTN or listen to preachers on the radio, but I am not evil. I practice my faith 24/7.
