Church
HIGH RISK: capitalized ‘la Chiesa’ denotes the global Catholic institution in a country where the Vatican is physically located and Catholic identity is deeply enmeshed with national culture — arguably the most institutionally loaded rendering of ekklesia in this batch. Waldensian/evangelical churches must work hard to reclaim ‘chiesa’ for the NT gathered-body sense.
