Imprimateurs

[Resurrexi]

most of my religious books dont have an imprimatur. I get practacally all of them from Angelus Press (the SSPX printing house). The Angelus Press Missal, though, has something that says it was based on The Ideal Missal which had a nihil obstat and an imprimatur. The Angelus Press Catechism of Trent, though, has two nihil obstati, an imprimi potest, and an imprimatur.

No wonder you are confuzzled. Try reading things that are actually catholic

Fun fact: Fr. Carl Pulvermacher SSPX, founder of Angelus Press is the brother of Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher, the alledged [Anti]Pope Pius XIII. He has two other brothers who are in communion with Rome.

Hrmm... None of my programming books have either...
Guess I can't trust them!

Or, you can ask a priest if you question anything in them.

Why throw the baby out with the bathwater?

I honestly don't even check for that because I've read books passed by Bishops which borderline on (and in my opinion crosses the line..) heresy.

Anyhow, I have to mention that just about every religious book I own incidently has been though an imprimatur. :

[quote name='Nathan' date='Mar 27 2006, 06:42 PM']Sure, I read books without the Imprimatur. I generally go by the reputation of the author in deciding what I read and do not read.

It would be wise, unless you are training to be a theologian, to stay away from books that can sway you away from the faith, and then only with through the guidance of some one smarter then you should you read them.

At the same time, one must take a charitable stance to any contray position despite how absurd it will be, because the truth never shrinks in fear from other truth. Hear people out, and with love consider what they said that in so far as it is ture, gently point out the fallacy and falsity.

I personally would not BUY a Catholic book without one, but if I can get it for free, then I don't care.
