Perhaps bad form, but I do not think that Catholics are "institutionalized zombies". I do distrust institutionalized hierarchies of all kinds and I do believe in freedom of expression. Also, I strongly disagree with banning books unless they are clearly defined, by a court, as hate literature.

I defer to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which Canada is a signatory; specifically Article 13, "The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of the child's choice."
