or (Latin for 'it can be printed') is a declaration by a major superior of a religious institute of the Catholic Church that writings on questions of religion or morals by a member of the institute may be printed.[1] Superiors make such declarations only after censors charged with examining the writings have granted the Latin: [[nihil obstat]], a declaration of no objection. Final approval can then be given through the Latin: [[imprimatur]] ('let it be printed') of the author's bishop or of the bishop of the place of publication.[2]
