Roles, not beliefs

Overview

From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.

Life

Roles and affiliation

Holding an office is not parentage and not discipleship.

What this means

As the records give them: every row is a third party’s statement, not a self-description, and a role or an affiliation is often held for one period of a life only. An affiliation is not a belief, and this site does not ask anyone about theirs. For an office: which one, for how long, and where the records give an ordinal or the holders either side. Recognition of a tenure is never universal: contested lines appear as overlapping tenures rather than as one corrected sequence.

Religious context

What the records tie them to

Founded, supported, associated with — as third parties recorded it.

What this means

A founding is an attribution, usually contested, and not a claim that the tradition began fully formed. Patronage is an act, not a belief: it says nothing about the religion of a population, and nothing about the patron’s own practice in every period of a life. Domains are as sources record them — for a saint, usually a patronage — rarely exclusive, and not the same in every account.
