520 _a"The Roman Index of Forbidden Books" by Francis S. Betten is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book addresses the Catholic Church's censorship of literature, specifically focusing on the Roman Index, a catalog of books deemed inappropriate for Catholics. It provides guidance for Catholic book lovers and students, detailing the Church’s authority and reason for prohibiting certain texts. In this concise treatise, Betten outlines the origins and purpose of the Roman Index, emphasizing the Church's responsibility to safeguard the faith of its followers against harmful literature. The book explains the process by which books are examined and included in the Index, along with the duties of Catholics regarding forbidden literature. It not only summarizes key regulations but also reflects on historical instances when books were condemned or challenged, such as the Galileo case. Overall, it serves as both a practical guide and a defense of the Church’s position on censorship, addressing common misconceptions and justifications surrounding the Index.
