sanctioned by the church?

[allis-challmers]

I was given a book for me to read, judge, and to let this person know what i think about it. As i read it, I don't feel that it is within the Catholic teaching. Isn't there some time of a sign or insigna that shows if a book has been sanctioned and approved by Rome? If so, what is it?
Thanks

allis-challmers,

There is usually something within the front page of the book called an "imprimatur" from a bishop, saying that nothing written in the book contradicts Catholic teaching. It is not an assurance that the book tells the whole of Catholic teaching on a given matter, or clearly presents the Faith; it just assures that what is actually written does not contradict the Faith. However, out of charity, we should always be willing to give a particular writing an orthodox interpretation, if at all possible. Hope this helps.

Yours,
Pio Nono
