Talk:Imprimatur

message: Please, I beg someone to please go to http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P2Q.HTM and read canons 822 - 832 to get a handle on what imprimatur, nihil obstat, imprimi potest are all about.  There is a bit of incorrect information in the article apparently based on information gathered from unofficial websites rather then directly from canon law.  I'd edit it, but I don't know how; I summarized what the law says in this edit, but didn't realize I had to save it first; I lost the whole thing and just don't have the time right now to redo it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.190.23.22 (talk) 22:34, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Sadly, because of the triumph of modernsists and liberals in the human aspect of the Church since the Second Vatican Council, books which could well contain a watered-down theology, a warped view of History, etc. now do receive the "Imprimatur."

message: I changed the last sentence in the paragraph that begins with the words Imprimi potest from
:This was given only have the two nihil obstats had been obtained from censors delegated by the superior of the religious order had been obtained. 
to
:This was given only after the two nihil obstats had been obtained from censors delegated by the superior of the religious order.
Obviously, the sentence was a wreck with a clause repeated both before and after a prepositional phrase, but I had to rely on an assumption to change "have" to "after." I ask that other editors more familiar with the subject than I am check my work. --Steven J. Anderson 21:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: My familiarity with Latin is limited.  Could anyone familiar with these terms provide IPA pronunciation guides for how these terms are pronounced, at least within academic circles? --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 15:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The page says that obtaining an imprimatur "formerly" requires four steps. As it is in the present tense, I think this should read "formally", not "formerly". An earlier comment mentions other sentences which were, in the writer's words "a mess", so I have a feeling that some of this page was composed in nonstandard English. But I may be wrong, and the author may be giving an obsolete procedure and simply has a problem with tense. As I do not know which is the case, could someone who knows the process look at this and either correct the word or the tense so it makes sense? 68.55.132.231 (talk) 07:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

message: We state: "The 1662 act required that, according to their subject, books needed to receive the authorization, known as the imprimatur, of the Lord Chancellor, the Earl Marshall, a principal Secretary of State, the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Bishop of London. This law finally expired in 1695."
This is given the lie by the very example shown in the picture to the right of the section. Newton's Pricipia, published in 1687, received its imprimatur order from the President of the Royal Society; not one of the parties we mentioned. Now, Pepys was also Secretary to the Admiralty at the time, so perhaps that example is merely misleading. But I also see that The Sceptical Chymist received its imprimatur in 1677 from the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. I think that's the second edition; perhaps that makes a difference? Perhaps since the first edition was published in 1961, the second edition is exempt.
If there's anyone about with more information about this, I think the section could do with being expanded or fixed. Azkm (talk) 17:17, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
