This page used to contain some excerpts from "The Poem of the Man-God". I was under the impression when I posted it that it has the Supreme Pontifical Imprimatur and hence is not in anyway contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.

However, I have learned from a reliable source that the Pontifical Imprimatur is not legitimate and that the Poem is in the Index of Forbidden Books. Under the rules of the Index, no one (not even a priest) could read it unless a bishop or a religious superior permits it or there is a justifiable reason to do so (e.g. to refute its errors).

For more information, please read "Is the Poem of the Man-God Simply a Bad Novel?" at http://www.petersnet.net/research/retrieve.cfm?RecNum=3365.
