Two news story jumped out at me today - both discussing controversial issues about paganism and witchcraft.
Catholic journalist Cristina Odone writes in the Telegraph that she believes it is wrong for schools to teach children about Druidry and paganism as part of RE lessons: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/9206178/Its-beyond-belief-to-teach-witchcraft.html
A story on News24 looks at the meaning of the terms witch and witchcraft, and how people all over the world are still being killed for being "witches": http://www.news24.com/MyNews24/Witchcraft-is-a-religion-20120414
Both of these stories discuss controversial issues and look at the way people in the modern world use words such as "witch" and "pagan".
