Join here: [   / @fadinglore  ] For over 400 years, a secret list published by the Vatican held the power to condemn the world's greatest minds and their books. What was on this forbidden list, why was it so feared, and why, after centuries of power, did it vanish? This documentary uncovers the epic story of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, the Catholic Church's official list of banned books. Our journey begins in the chaos of the Reformation, where the invention of the printing press turned rebellious ideas into a wildfire, forcing the Church to forge a new weapon to control the flow of information. We follow the 400-year "War for the Mind" as the Index clashes with the giants of history: the astronomical discoveries of Copernicus and Galileo, the radical philosophies of the Enlightenment, and the passionate novels of Victor Hugo. We will also explore the secret debates that took place within the Vatican itself and the Index's surprising global reach. Finally, we witness the slow decline of the Index in the modern world and its eventual, quiet abolition in 1966. This is the story of a fortress built of paper, and the enduring power of ideas that refused to be silenced. #Vatican #ForbiddenHistory #Documentary
