Translated into English, this Latin phrase means "nothing hinders" or "nothing stands in the way". It is therefore also used to indicate that a proposal or idea in the general sense has no opposition. The nihil obstat is the first step, along with the imprimi potest, toward the granting of an Imprimatur. Under older Canon Law, a book written by a member of a religious order had to receive two nihil obstats by members of the order to receive the imprimi potest.
