Question

Why did the roman catholic church impose controls over publishers and book sellers?

Answer 1

Answer:

There were many questionings of faith during the sixteenth century.

For example Mennochio a miller in Italy read books in his locality and formulated his view on the creation of man. He was hauled up twice and ultimately executed.

The Roman Catholic Church troubled by such popular questionings of faith began to maintain an Index of Prohibited Books.
