Recently I sent a book and an accompanying note to Bishop Thomas J. Olmstead's office (bishop of Phoenix), requesting a review of the title "Mary and the Carmelite Saints", with the hope of receiving a nihil obstat / imprimatur.
I did this in keeping with the tradition of our Carmelite foundress St. Teresa -- who always allowed her manuscripts to be reviewed by Church authority, and who always encouraged absolute conformity to official teaching.
The bishop's office was kind enough to review the book, but did not provide the declaration. Perhaps the Lord knows best what is needed...
