Crusader_4 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 I actually dont mind the idea of having a list of books that could be theologically dangerous for example in our area the Church advised us not to see the movie "The Order" and i actually wanted to see it but i figured i would be faithful. But i think that it doesnt Hurt the Church to read through and say that books are dangerous.
Mickey's_Girl Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Hmm...I went on that list, and there's something kooky, or else the person didn't list enough info. Les Mis didn't come out until 1862 (English translation same year, according to my copy). Now I'm curious. MG
crusader1234 Posted June 18, 2004 Author Posted June 18, 2004 I'm not totally sure, but the consensus is that it was on there. It was revolutionary, and since the Royals were Catholic, it makes sense that they wouldnt want a revolution.

But it wasn't set during the French Revolution...it was after the restoration of the monarchy. Well. It's confusing, but I guess I'll have to find out later. If anyone knows of a more specific source about *why* Les Miserables was on the "banned" list, please PM me. Thanks for looking stuff up, Crusader1234! MG
master_alterserver Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 but Dante wrote a book that some people may believe in, but was just his opinion
McKenzie Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Who read the books to determine if they would be banned or not...? If they are detrimental to the Faith, how did those people not lose Faith?
master_alterserver Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 i have read the books and have found them interesting but you must read them knowing that the church does not claim that dante´s view is correct
