The Index Of Forbidden Books

[Archbishop 10-K]

I have heard that there will be no more updates, but is it still binding? Was it ever enforced in the past?


Why was Les Miserables on the Index? (I was under the impression that book was free of anti-Catholicism, and it portrayed that archbishop in the beginning as a very good guy.)

I also heard that Dante Alighieri was banned. Why was this?

Archbishop 10-K,

The Index is no longer binding. Unfortunately, I cannot answer the rest of your question.

Yours,
Pio Nono
