Also, Pope Cornelius is remembered for being tolerant of
the 'lapsed'. That is, Christians who were not firm in their faith or
left Christianity completely and who were considered by the devoutly
catholic to be non-pure Christians. Rings a bell doesn't it. So far
Harry has certainly seen the tolerant side of the wizarding world
with great wizards such as Dumbledore given free reign to employ
werewolves and half giants and the Ministry of Magic having laws to
protect muggles and even vampires. It was the tolerance of Pope
Cornelius which earned him his exile, to be replaced by the far less
tolerant Lucius.
ugh.
