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

huh? This is a presumptuous statement: many people need continually new vieuws to experience them "as new". Fewer people ( maybe artist often, philosophers, but in fact anyone)) have the occasional capacity of looking at familiar things with "new eyes". Like they had never seen it before. A totally fresh imprint. A view of something often seen and yet " brand new". (Those are the moments!)

Hasn't the "imprimatur" become more of mark of endorsement or accreditation than the absence of it being a prohibition?
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.
