Any publication produced to be distributed or sold to members of the Catholic Church must meet standards and provide assurances required by the Catholic Church. One assurance is that the information in the publication does not contradict any position taken by the church. A Church official must provide a certification called Nihil obstat (?nothing hinders?) which is a declaration they found no objection that warrants the censoring of this book. The bishop of the author's diocese or of the place of publication (such as a publishing company) gives the final approval by the declaration known as the Imprimator (?let it be printed?). This publication provides those assurances. Over-sized soft-cover has intact, complete cover with single crease in spine, also compression crease and nick from storage.
