Isn't it interesting?

It would also be interesting to see the Vatican index of banned literature.
They still refuse to acknowledge that the list exists!

dragged from another forum: the last official Vatican index of banned
literature was published in 1949 but was considered as valid until 1966. They
claim they can't be bothered any more (I guess they decided it guarantied
success to those included;)))

On the other hand there are people who, before reading a book, check its
imprimatur


Reliable Catholic Teaching


Imprimatur is Latin for "let it be printed." When a Roman Catholic bishop
grants his imprimatur to a printed work, he assures the reader that nothing
therein is contrary to Catholic faith or morals. This imprimatur is not given
lightly; only after a thorough review process.

Each Catholic Update, Millennium Monthly, Scripture from Scratch and Youth
Update undergoes a review by officials of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to be
sure the text contains only accurate, reliable Catholic teaching. The
imprimatur that each edition carries is proof of our commitment to quality.

Thank you for 1948 and 1966. These dates I know and have visited websites on
the subject. Still, the inquisition has not been called off has it? :))

Please explain "our committment to quality". Do you participate in the process
of imprimature-ing?

Well, I know very little about it, probably if it was still on, some books
would be eagerly read... Really I have no idea what's it like these days (would
I find out if i became a church-goer again?)

Sorry, I did forget to use inverted commas when I pasted the bit of text. I
gather you know what the words mean and the message behind them is to be
explained by those involved in the process...

No, I don't, though I do participate in the process of laughing at imprimatur-
ing;)))

I can see "Fanny Hill" is on the list. Now that's one hot book! And a real
page turner too. I devoured that book (and the sequel) when I was a horny 13
year old boy. Don't ask me where i got it from. :>

Thanks for bringing back my boyhood memories.
