What it teachesAdjudicated acts, allegations, and institutional identity must be kept distinct

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

The California Attorney General's statement is an official record of García's plea and sentence. It also states that he must register as a sex offender for life. HBO's Unveiled and Netflix's The Darkness within La Luz del Mundo present survivor accounts and broader allegations concerning García and other leaders. Those wider claims require their own attribution; García's conviction does not establish criminal responsibility for every adherent or for the church as a legal entity.
