	Imprimatur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Imprimatur is an official declaration from the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church that a literary or similar work is free from error in matters of Roman Catholic doctrine and morals, and hence acceptable reading for faithful Roman Catholics.
		It is of the greatest importance, of course, in works directly addressing Roman Catholic theology and doctrine, and was introduced as a measure to reduce exposure, particularly of the laity, to heresy.
		The term "imprimatur" is sometimes used in a broader sense to indicate official approval by whatever authorities are pertinent to the field in question (not necessarily the Catholic Church.) For example, a political work might be said to have the "imprimatur" of a certain politician or political party.

		I always check for the imprimatur in books I am considering reading as a “safety check” on whether the material is reliable from a Catholic perspective.
		Conversely, dioceses are at times resistant to accepting works into the imprimatur process if the nature of the work doesn't require one, since dioceses don't generally have full-time censors and so each imprimatur-bound project means that a censor must work on the project in and around whatever other work the censor has to do.
		The imprimatur is only as strong as the orthodoxy of the diocesan censor.

		However, the nihil obstat and imprimatur are not an endorsement and do not guarantee that the entire contents of a work are true.
		Rather, the imprimatur signifies that, given the censor’s understanding of the Church’s teaching as it stands today, the theories are not definitely false.
		The nihil obstat and imprimatur provide for the bishop’s participation in reviewing writings intended for public distribution to the faithful, and most writings bearing an imprimatur will indeed present the teachings of the Church in a faithful manner.

		Then follows the word, Imprimatur, the name of the local bishop or of his vicar, and the place and date of permission.
		The process, however, is rigorous if done properly, and, while a book may occasionally sneak through the system and need to have its Imprimatur later recalled, the procedure is an important way for Catholics to increase their chances of staying error-free with regard to doctrine.
		And, always, if you ever come across a publication that makes you uneasy or says horrific or slanderous things about the Church, her teachings, or her history, please make the extra effort to read the traditional Catholic point of view as well and to seek out objective or unbiased resources on the subject.
