My Project
From a utilitarian perspective, banning and censoring these writings was seen as ethical because they could disrupt the way of life at the time, and the Church would be doing the most amount of good, for the most amount of people. Limiting opinions, writings, and information to the public can create a more unified society. It's seen today within schools, with the intent to protect children from potentially harmful information.
