The Catholic Church often tried to censor books because they believed that certain ideas and information could threaten their authority and teachings. They wanted to control the spread of information that contradicted or challenged their beliefs, and believed that censoring certain books would protect their followers from being led astray. Additionally, they sought to maintain their power and influence over society by controlling the dissemination of certain ideas.
