I am not Sparky. The Sparky on the Militia Watchdog is, IIRC, the director, Mark Pitcavage.

The connection I hear about is
nihil obstat in the
Catholic Encyclopedia. - But the older version and I have only the
New Catholic Encyclopedia available to me here. Turns out the same in Denver at the main library. I found something from the '70s in Boulder and may be there soon, the reference librarian would not go look up the entry for me.
In the version attached, there is something about the last sentence that indicates to me the link between the captions in the link provided and the diminished status of people may be found in the older
Catholic Encyclopedia.
Additionally, it seems to me that Shoonra has had time to research this out with the resources from his law librarian career. So anybody in Boulder with access to the UC library, or anyone with more motivation to research this than I have, get a look and we might find out if the Pope has engineered this nomenclature based on capitalization.
