Index Librorum Prohibitorum, 1948

[KJVisTruth]

I have been trying to find the complete Index of Prohibited Books in English, I only found partial lists (in English) and this link, which isnt in English, http://www.cvm.qc.ca/gconti/905/BABEL/Index Librorum Prohibitorum-1948.htm.

The Index is a listing of books that have been banned/censored by the Catholic Church, and yes I know... they stopped updating in 1966.

Where can I find the complete Index, in English? Thanks so much!

Great question, I would be very interested in seeing this list too!

The Index can be downloaded here in Word format. An equally difficult to navigate list can be found here

Both are the 1948 (most recent) addition.

Thanks! These lists arent in full English though. I suppose I could just get some translating software and plug in some titles.... that seems tedious. lol

Thanks y'all! Anyone else have any linkos??

For some of these titles, there may be no English translation, hence no English title. Just a thought to add.

The 'Index' was continuosly updated:
In each edition some books were added, and others were canceled.

So it is a non-sense to look at it now, because the judice on many books may change and the Index is no more valid.

PS: it was not 'forbidden' to read the books in, but you sd take some precautions, like to ask advice to well informed people.

Dear Tonks, I dont think it is a good idea to post in OBOB link of very anticatholic site, as the first you posted.

Whichever document you can find in, is rubbish.

In my little experience with Opus Dei, no list of forbidden books were never given.

I am aware of that, and I know about Opus Dei too. Nonetheless, I want to look at the Index, last edition if possible, in full English. If the given links are the best I could get, I will be happy with that. Thanks. =)

Yeah, thats very possible.

Good afternoon atn_v,

To begin with, ODAN is not an "anti-Catholic" website...anti-Opus Dei, yes. There is nothing on ODAN that is really contrary to the teachings of the Church. OBOB staff discussed the website a month or two ago and we decided that it was a permissible link. You're certainly free to report my post and request that staff review it again. For the record, I voted in favor of allowing it last time though I will recuse myself should you ask that it be reviewed again - particularly since I'm moving from Ecumenical to Theology fairly soon.

Further, the list that I linked to was not the unverifiable list of books banned by Opus Dei, rather, it is merely the standard 1948 Index of Prohibited Books.

Should you have any other concerns feel free to shoot me a message.

If I had thought that site to be not allowed in OBOB, I wd have reported your post.
I didnot, but anyway I think that not all links, even if technically allowed, are constructive. So I simply said that it was not a good idea to post it. That is all.

You are certainly free to feel that way. However, "anti-Catholic" it is not.

For goodness sakes- do we really need to do this on a thread from someone who isn't Catholic??

Avoid wrangling over words, etc....

Anyone have any English language links to the last publication of the Index?
