1. The Catholic Church does not have a list of "banned books." Over the years, the Church has spoken out against certain books, movies, plays and works of art. But the Church has no power or capacity to "ban" anything and never has.
2. theres this really awesome website called "google.com." I have it as my homepage. It's really neat because you can type in something like, "books banned by the catholic church" and find about 566,000 websites that could give you the information you want. I'm serious! I tried it. And the first place it lead me to was here: http://www.beaconforfreedom.org/search/censored_publications/result.html?author=&cauthor=&title=&country=8052&language=&censored_year=&censortype=&published_year=&censorreason=&Search=Search next time you should try doing it yourself.
3. The Bible: Not banned Not the Bible: Banned
4. Anything with incest, abortion, premarital sex, magic, etc. is pretty much snubbed by the catholic church, but they don't have the power to ban anything.
5. if your referring to the old European famous list of "excommunicated" books than Im sure if you google it some link for wikipedia will come up, its interesting they banned books by authors who taught like Galileo that the earth was not the center. If it disagreed with the bible, the Jesuits would bann it...WOW AP Euro really taughtt me a lot haha anywho i don't thinkk now a days they have an actual list of banned books but they do have dislikes towards topics on abortion and other anti catholic teachings.
6. Google "books banned by Pope St. Gelasius". These were mostly Gnostic writings. God bless! In Christ Fr. Joseph
