The Index of Forbidden Books was created by the Catholic Church, specifically by the Congregation of the Index under the authority of the Pope. It was a list of publications deemed to be heretical, immoral, or otherwise unfit for Catholics to read. The Index was discontinued and eventually abolished in the 20th century.
The Counter-Reformation led to a revival of Catholicism and efforts to combat Protestantism through measures such as the establishment of the Inquisition and the Index of Forbidden Books. Socially, it reinforced the power of the Catholic Church, increased religious fervor among believers, and influenced art and culture with the patronage of Baroque art and architecture.
In the Old Testament, shellfish such as shrimp, crab, lobster, and other forms of seafood without fins and scales were considered unclean and forbidden to be eaten by the Israelites. This is outlined in Leviticus 11:9-12.
The forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were specifically instructed by God not to eat the fruit from this tree.
The Torah, which includes the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The Historical Books, which recount the history of the Israelites from their entry into the Promised Land to the exile.

The Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Forbidden Books) was issued by Pope Paul IV in 1559.Many versions of the index were later created with the final, twentieth, version being issued in 1948.The index was abolished on June 14, 1966 by Pope Paul VI.
Yes, and not just during the middle ages. The Church maintained an Index Librorum Prohibitorum - a list of banned books - which the faithful were forbidden to read. The Index was abolished in 1966.
The book "Forbidden Verses" was written by the author Keith Houston. It explores the history and impact of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a list of banned books by the Catholic Church.
The principle of a list of forbidden books was adopted at the Fifth Lateran Council in 1515, then confirmed by the Council of Trent in 1546. The first edition of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, dated 1557 was published by Pope Paul IV. The 32nd edition, published in 1948 included 4000 titles. The Index was suppressed in 1966. http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/indexlibrorum.html It was the best way of keeping us faith ful to the Church. I request it be reinstated.
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.
