This series contains correspondence with the Bishop of London concerning the doctrinal and moral content of 140 of the short plays written by Sister Marie Angela Aubert. For more information on the plays, see F01-SF05-S002. Most Rev. John M. Sherlock, Bishop of London, asked Rev. J. Murray Watson, M. Div, to become Sister Marie Angela Aubert’s Censor Librorum, an authority who reviews text for the Church. Father J. Murray Watson granted Sister Marie Angela Aubert’s plays Nihil Obstat in 1996. Nihil Obstat is an official declaration that the text contains no doctrinal or moral errors and is in keeping with the teachings and views of the Church. It was issued again in 1997. In 1997, Bishop Sherlock also granted the plays Imprimatur. Imprimatur authorizes the publication of material and guarantees that the content is of good standard. The plays were reviewed in 2006 with Rev. Michael Prieur acting as Censor Librorum and the Bishop of London at the time, Most Rev. Ronald P. Fabbro, C.S.B., again granted Imprimatur with a recommendation for a minor revision to play #144. The letters detailing these events are present.
