As a Catholic I can say that was B.S.

Reading cannot be a sin. Thinking cannot be a sin. Speaking cannot be a sin.

It's a good thing that the index has been abolished in 1966.

“Down with this sort of thing”

Makes me think that if this list was still published it would have a sort of Father Ted effect[1] and act as a list of books you’d definitely want to read.
