No, but the morals still apply. The study gives a better explanation. |

But I am wondering why there was a forbidden book list in the past & there is not one now?

Because someone worked out that banning a book is a sure-fire way of encouraging people to read it.

Yeah, not a fan of the whole "parental" notion that is taken by the book in regards to the Church.
We're big kids, we can handle it.
Plus Descartes, Balzac, Erasmus, Hugo, Hobbes, Locke....all (and more) were simply banned.
Where would we be without those thinkers and writers...
