No other biographic information was found for this author. After a book is written, for it to be published by a Catholic Church press, there is a 2 step process. 1st it must be determined not to undermine Church beliefs (Nihil Obstat assures this). Then an highly ranked Church officer (Imprimatur) approves and orders it to be printed. Nihil Obstat: Rev. T.E. Dillon, Censor Librorum. No biographic information found. Imprimatur: John Francis Noll, D.D. (1875¿1956) was a Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne from 1925 until his death in 1956. He was active in national church organizations.
