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.
