Doctrine Analysis
Doctrine Analysis
This Language Package’s doctrine_risk_registry.json tracks 40 doctrines across Romans 1–16, each assigned a risk tier that drives Phase 2 review routing.
Risk tier summary
| Tier | Count | Review routing | Example doctrines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | 2 | Human theologian, every occurrence | Deity of Christ, Sonship of Christ |
| High | 13 | Human theologian | Grace, Salvation, Sainthood, Prayer and Intercession, Church as God’s People, Effectual Calling |
| Medium | 19 | Native speaker review | Divine Calling, Faith, Adoption, Sanctification, Providence |
| Low | 6 | Automated review only | Gospel, Apostleship, Humanity of Christ, Peace with God, Thanksgiving, Mutual Edification |
Every doctrine, regardless of tier, additionally requires native-speaker dialect review given Bavarian’s lack of a standardized orthography — a requirement layered on top of, not replacing, the risk-tier-driven review routing shown above.
Why the risk profile differs from Hindi
Hindi’s Critical/High tier clusters around doctrines with a ready-made syncretistic word from an entirely different religious framework (Hinduism). Bavarian’s Critical/High tier clusters around two distinct mechanisms with no real parallel in Hindi: a register gap between an oral, domestic dialect and a doctrinal vocabulary historically confined to standard German and Latin (Righteousness, Justification, Effectual Calling), and Bavaria’s unusually concrete, locally-anchored folk-Catholic devotional practice (Sainthood, Prayer and Intercession, Church as God’s People) — even more intensely localized than the comparable Catholic-culture risk documented for Italian, given Bavaria’s specific traditions like the Altötting pilgrimage and parish Kirchweih festivals.
Review routing rationale
Critical and High risk doctrines (15 of 40) require mandatory human theologian review because only a theologically informed reviewer can judge whether a borrowed doctrinal term has been used with appropriate care, or whether a fluent, warm dialect rendering has quietly defaulted to a specific local devotional practice rather than Paul’s more general sense. Native speaker review is required for every doctrine regardless of tier because Bavarian’s orthography is not standardized, an additional review dimension with no equivalent in this batch’s other five languages.
