Imprimatur

An Imprimatur is an official approval from the hierarchy of the Catholic Church stating that a literary or similar work is totally free from error in all matters of faith and doctrine, and hence is acceptable reading for faithful Catholics. Approval is also sometimes indicated by the words Nihil Obstat, which mean “nothing hinders” (i.e. there is no obstacle to publication). An imprimatur is not given lightly, and always follows a thorough review process. It is usually printed on a page at or near the beginning of the work. The name and title of the official church censor or other ecclesiastical authority, and the date that permission was granted, always accompany either declaration.
