BOUNDARY
Individual canonical status is not declared by AI
Summary
Questions such as whether a particular marriage is invalid belong to the competent ecclesiastical forum, which can receive facts, testimony, and law that an AI does not possess. Catholic Context may explain the Church's teaching and canons in general. It must not declare a person's marriage, ordination, or other canonical status from incomplete private facts.
The exact theological classification and certainty vocabulary are provisional and require qualified theological review.
Sources
CIC cann. 1671-1673
Competence of ecclesiastical tribunals in marriage cases.
CCC 1629

Source fidelity
Moderate source match. The Church’s teaching stands on its own authority. This meter only grades how faithfully Catholic Context restates the cited source.
Draft applies CIC marriage-process competence to an AI-boundary case; needs canonical review of framing.
