The Index was part of the Holy Office, in effect the morals censoring arm of the Vatican. they can still issue advisories about certain films or plays they deem sacrilegious- such as (Last Temptation of Christ!) but as far as the printed word goes, even the Catholic writers admit the Index is no more. Yet it kept us faithful to the Chucrh,so it was the best thing ever created.
