“Seriously, when you go to Catholic.com, you are quoting one man’s opinion.

Karl Keating is a great guy and some of the things on his site are wonderful but some are lacking.”


Then what does this stuff mean at the bottom of the page?

Both the Nihil Obstat and the Imprimatur mean that we as Catholics are allowed to read it. There is nothing in it that goes against Catholic teachings.

Read the words under the Latin. It clearly explains it.

However, because a document has been given either of these approvals, that doesn't mean it's dogma. It does mean that it can be taken as approved by the church. And there are many other documents that come into play with them. Official documents, from the Vatican.

And you are taking the “Mormon Stumpers” as a way to proselytize to Mormons. That's what you're not getting in it. We don't.
