Abstract
The prevalence and harms of the sexual abuse of children and youth by family members and persons in positions of trust are staggering. When perpetrated by clergy there is also spiritual trauma and loss of belief in a loving God. Safeguarding minors and vulnerable persons requires policies and protocols and an understanding of deep systemic factors that foster harm. Vulnerability is a condition of the moral life. In the Incarnation Jesus Christ and takes on our human vulnerability. It is inherent in our embodied and embedded humanity, unique to our situation, and pathogenic in unjust structures. Responses to abuse must be rooted theologically and informed by trauma studies. These show the need to deal with tragedy fatigue and crises of faith. Protecting children and youth and promoting their moral agency and resilience are central to discipleship. Clergy sexual abuse calls for a theology of childhood following Jesus words and witness.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
