The Index Librorum Prohibitorum was formally abolished by Paul VI in 1966 during a reorganisation of the curia, it had been a dead duck for most of a generation by then. I know of no proposals to revive it and would be staggered if anyone in a position to push for it had the remotest intention of doing so.
Darwin never made it though De Chardin came a bit close.
I don't think even my onetime friend now notorious for running a very conservative Catholic boarding school at Chavagnes in France would have a real problem with any of that lot. Well, maybe Twilight and Anne Rice. 25 years ago he lent me Auel though.
But... "Catholic" is something of a fluid term depending on where one is standing. Both the SSPX (they who think Benedict and JPII are dangerous liberals and Vatican II flirted with formal heresy, particularly on religious liberty) and the SSPV (they who think that the SSPX are dangerous liberals and that there probably hasn't been a real pope since at least Pius XII, possibly since the condemnation of Jansenism) run private schools in the US and I can easily see them objecting to all that list. That might be what lies at the bottom of it.
