Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
In the mid-16th century, the Roman Catholic Church maintained the Index of Prohibited Books. These books were maintained in 1558 to retain them in the church because many started writing and publishing books related to faith and belief in God. These books defined the different interpretations of the holy book. The people with little knowledge about the facts or only their level of understanding began to write books that did not always represent the exact facts. Thus, the points of the holy books may not be interpreted correctly, leading to the questioning of faith. Therefore, the Roman Catholic Church maintained an Index of prohibited books.
