Isn't the sign that something has the imprimatur the phrase nihil obstat, {'nothing hinders'}? Sounds like guilty until proven innocent to me.

A totally fresh imprint. A view of something often seen and yet " brand new". (Those are the moments!)

That which is not permitted is forbidden.
I stand to be corrected as always, but if it is an official book of theology or prayer, or
the like, it must have an Imprimatur, to be recognized. If not then it is not an official
Roman publication (Roman Catholic). I think the "Imprimatur" replaced the Index of
Forbidden books. Does anyone know a Catholic for whom we could get it correct, like a
Bishop or Vicar General???

No, but there's plenty of professional looker-uppers around here who will tell you post haste I'm sure...

I picked up a booklet at a friend's house (he's Roman C.) in which there is inside the
front cover the word IMPRIMATUR; I hereby grant my permission to publish 'booklet's name'
.This is a declaration that said book is is considered to be free of doctrinal or moral
error. (But that is just this one pamphlet.) And then there is Bishop's name.
