Clergy Accountability Registry
Public registry of clergy, missionaries, and preachers documented for coercion, incitement, abuse, or fraud under cloak of religious authority. Harm-to-person standard. Doctrinal disagreement is out of scope.
Two filing modes
Sworn filings include declarant identity sealed at rest via AES-256-GCM and count at 100% weight. Anonymous tips count at 25% weight and preserve a path for victims of cult retaliation.
Evidence required
Every entry requires a primary source: recorded sermon, court filing, news report with named sources, organizational document, or published writing. The engine indexes the source — it does not editorialize it.
Right of reply
The named subject, their organization, family, or legal counsel may submit a rebuttal. Both entry and rebuttal are displayed together. No silent deletion.
Sectarian neutrality
The same evidentiary methodology applies across all faiths. Distribution of entries by tradition is not a balance target — but the methodology is public so no tradition can claim selective targeting.
Categories
14 harm-to-person categories — physical, sexual, coercive control, economic, crime under religious cover, speech and incitement, and coverup. See the charter for evidentiary minimums per category.
