Detailed Solution

The Roman Catholic Church maintained an index of prohibited books. In the sixteenth century, the Roman Catholic Church began to maintain an indicator of banned books, as these books began to impact millions against the Roman Catholic Church. People like Menocchio, an Italian miller, and Erasmus, a Latin scholar, began to criticise the extreme face of Catholicism. The masses were widely influenced, which forced the Roman Catholic Church to restrict the spread of similar books and ideas by maintaining an index of banned books in 1558. The Roman Catholic Church also imposed restrictions on booksellers and publishers; some of them were even executed. Martin Luther used the books to spread the evil practices of the Roman Catholic Church. His followers began to be known as "Protestants."
