JRR Tolkein embedded a lot of Catholic-friendly mythology in
   LOTR and not the least bit accidentally. Some aren't even
   hidden: "The Secret Fire", Gandalf's master, *is* the Holy
   Spirit in Trinitarian theology but with a more Latin bend to it
   than the Orthodox or most of the Protestant branches but
   certainly compatible enough. It's not even speculation. Tolkien
   said so in interviews. Secret Fire. Holy Spirit. Hiding in plain
   sight but as it's mythologized thereby being overlooked by many.
   But it would be a threat to the kind of group addressed by
   "Beloved" in the OP. and thereby "of Satan". == Well, going by
   the thoroughness of the list, if they investigated and
   discovered the connection, for it to be Catholic would be worst
   than Satanist to them. I remember a *few* growing up that would
   ask, "Are you Christian or Catholic?" Always seemed like a
   stupid question to me. But perhaps you're right: they saw magic
   and went, "oh, bad". Generally though, I think they were
   thinking of the LOTR subculture as being incompatible and having
   hung around ppl who were/are VERY into LOTR subculture, I
   suppose they have a point :P == I'm known some fundie ppl who
   were very well educated, at least as much as to identify who
   their 'enemies' were and why in great detail. I don't assume all
   ppl in a particular group uneducated but they could easily be
   barking up the wrong tree as it were. ==
