Status of Accepted Sacred Texts (link)

All accepted Sacred Texts may appear in more than one (1) collection and are formally defined as Canonical, Reverential or Referential.

(i) Canonical Sacred Texts are texts considered and cited as the absolute foundation of all law and spiritual authority and therefore the twenty two (22) books of true canon law known as Astrum Iuris Divini Canonum; and

(ii) Reverential Sacred Texts are texts that contain some canonical references but also possess too many non canonical references to be wholly canonical so may be partially cited as foundational law but not considered absolute "Divine Law”; and

(iii) Referential Sacred Texts are respected historical texts that are not considered accurate or consistent enough to be "Divine Law" that may be referenced in historical context and reference but not as true foundation of law.
