From Savage Chickens:
Would this mean that he is, to his friends, “Harry Potter”?

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Friends?
[Well… business associates, then.]
Most angels, I hope, are better looking than Clarence. As to who is friends of the angels…too bad Potter did not destroy bells when Moroni came to western New York.
I can’t find it on youtube, but I always like Saturday Night Live’s lost footage from It’s a Wonderful Life where they storm Potter’s house and kick the stuffing out him. :)
Anybody who thinks this could work should read Lafcadio Hearn’s brilliant retelling of a Japanese ghost story: “Of a Mirror and a Bell”.
Actually, anybody who likes ghost stories, traditional Japanese folklore, and so forth retold in a faintly outre’ Victorian style should read Lafcadio Hearn. He’s an original.
But, how would potter know if the good angels don’t have wings.
God bless

You’re looking for the “Lost Ending”?
Right this way … http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/its-a-wonderful-life-lost-ending/278730/
Hmmm. I guess I need to watch “A Wonderful Life” again?
I didn’t catch the reference to Henry Potter.
Well, Christmas Day cometh. Perhaps I should take that with me to my folks, let my two god-daughters watch too. Something hopeful and moderately faithful, but not too preachy, might do them quite good….
I’m reminded of the old Jack Webb/Johnny Carson bell clapper theft skit. Now, with Clarence!
@Supertradmum: have we not entertained angels unawares?
