Ever Read DeMontfort? He gets really worshipful on the subject of Mary.

Yes I have....catholics run from like roaches when the light is turned on.

Yet that work has an Imprimatur and nihil obstat - terms that mean:

    In the Catholic Church an imprimatur is an official declaration by a Church authority that a book or other printed work may be published; it is usually only applied for and granted to books on religious topics from a Catholic perspective.

    The grant of imprimatur is normally preceded by a favourable declaration (known as a nihil obstat) by a person who has the knowledge, orthodoxy and prudence necessary for passing a judgement about the absence from the publication of anything that would "harm correct faith or good morals". In canon law such a person is known as a censor or sometimes as a censor librorum (Latin for "censor of books"). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprimatur)

I haven't seen anything "official" that removes that designation to the work.
