Wonderland or Not

A Roman Catho­lic by birth I left the church in high school when I couldn’t recon­cile the horrors in the world, and the appa­rent priest pedophile cover-up , to the riches of the Vati­can. Howe­ver this cle­ric has it right.

Accor­ding to the Tele­graph in Dis­ney accu­sed by Catho­lic cle­ric of corrup­ting children’s minds.

Chris­topher Jami­son, the Abbot of Worth in West Sus­sex, has accu­sed the cor­po­ra­tion of “exploi­ting spi­ri­tua­lity” to sell its pro­ducts and of tur­ning Dis­ney­land into a modern day pil­gri­mage site. He argues that it pre­tends to pro­vide sto­ries with a moral mes­sage, but has actually hel­ped to create a more mate­ria­lis­tic culture.

In a guide to hel­ping peo­ple find hap­pi­ness, the abbot, who sta­rred in the hit-BBC series The Monas­tery, warns that society is in dan­ger of losing its soul because of gro­wing con­su­me­rism and the dec­line of religion.

Con­si­de­ring the small piece of the soul chip­ped off this past Black Fri­day when a thun­de­rous herd of misc­reants tram­pled to death a Wal­mart wor­ker, and des­pite the fact this herd might not have been after the Dis­ney Prin­cess, I think he’s on to something.

God knows — so they say— how long Dis­ney has been pedd­ling the good against evil theme while making millions off their movie the­med gotta have toys.

Take if from someone who never saw “the toy of the day” appear under the Christ­mas tree, there will be no long term detri­men­tal affects on your child’s health, no psycho­lo­gi­cal damage done. As a parent you’d be wise to con­si­der the fool you are to fall into the Dis­ney trap, or any of the thou­sands of simi­lar traps, being set for you and your offs­pring this season.
