✦ Accountable by Design
Catholic teaching is not ours to redefine.
Repository ownership, commercial funding, contributor popularity, and AI output do not determine Catholic teaching.
Founding principles
- Truth is not determined by vote. Votes may prioritize review; they do not establish doctrine.
- Sources and theological review govern doctrinal representation.
- Review status must be transparent — draft, community-reviewed, or theologically reviewed.
- Commercial independence. Customers and donors may not purchase theological conclusions.
- Open contribution without uncontrolled canonical editing.Issues and pull requests are welcome; merges remain controlled.
Review states
DRAFT — THEOLOGICAL REVIEW PENDING
Created but not yet substantively reviewed.
COMMUNITY REVIEWED
Reviewed through the open contribution process.
THEOLOGICALLY REVIEWED
Reviewed by an approved theological reviewer under project governance.
Catholic Context deliberately avoids labels such as “Church-approved” or “official” unless an actual ecclesiastical process would justify such a claim.
Corpus review status
47 of 47 knowledge objects are still draft. Nothing on this site is labeled theologically reviewed until a named appointed reviewer records evidence in Git.
