Christian Source Authority and RAG

Can Christian RAG systems distinguish and correctly use Scripture, creeds, confessions, councils, catechisms, denominational policies, patristic sources, commentaries, sermons, blogs, and academic theology?

Why this matters

The question behind the brief.

Christian source authority is structured. Treating a blog post, sermon, Bible verse, catechism paragraph, and local policy as equal retrieved chunks can mislead users even when citations are technically accurate.
