Censorship yet again...

I related todays reading on "The Marriage Game" to a topic less concerned with marriage. On Page 338, Elizabeth is in outrage because of a pamphlet that talks about her religion upon marriage and wants the pamphlet destroyed. This reminds me of the censorship that the Catholic church implemented during the 1500's. The church put out index's of banned books and discouraged enlightened thinkers such as Martin Luther and Galileo Galilei. Their reasoning behind their censorship was to keep people from challenging the beliefs of the church and ultimately to keep their power at the time. Serious actions and punishments were taken by the church and Elizabeth wants similar actions to be taken in the book for similar reasons. "Publish a proclamation condemning this pamphlet as lewd and seditious, and have all the copies confiscated and burned." (the marriage game, 339). The similarities are vibrant to me and I can not help but reflect upon the connection between the Catholic church and their censorship that still exists today, and Elizabeth's censorship in the book.
