Editorial & Sourcing Policy

1. Liturgical Source Hierarchy

GloryBePrayer.com exists to serve the global Catholic faithful with authentic, reverent, and accurate devotional resources. Every prayer text, historical explanation, and biblical meditation published on this site is derived from official ecclesiastical and liturgical publications:

• The Holy See (Vatican): Official Latin formulations from the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, Breviarium Romanum, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
• National Episcopal Conferences: Approved liturgical texts from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Episcopal Commission on Liturgy, and the Conferencia Episcopal Española (CEE).
• Sacred Scripture: Verified citations from authoritative Catholic translations of the Holy Bible.
• Ecumenical Councils & Patristic History: Historic canons and documents (e.g., Council of Nicaea, Second Council of Vaison 529 AD).

2. Multilingual & Translation Standards

We reject the publication of unverified or raw machine-generated translations for sacred prayers. All supported languages (English, Spanish, Filipino/Tagalog, and Latin) reflect the authorized liturgical usage of their respective Catholic dioceses:

Every translation record retains its specific institutional provenance. Where multiple translation traditions exist (e.g., traditional English "world without end" versus ICEL contemporary "will be for ever"), both are documented with their respective liturgical contexts.

3. Editorial Separation & User Intentions

We maintain a strict boundary between our canonical editorial content and community-submitted features:

• Editorial Resources: Curated, sourced, indexed, and referenced for theological education and personal prayer.
• Community Prayer Intentions: Submitted by visitors seeking communal intercession. These intentions are moderated, excluded from external search indexing by default, and never cited as theological sources.
• Private Device Sanctuary: Personal intentions and locally saved prayers remain strictly on the user's device and are never sent to external servers or search engines.

4. Corrections & Liturgical Feedback

We actively welcome corrections regarding typographical errors, translation nuances, or historical citations. If you identify a discrepancy between our published texts and approved liturgical books:

Please reach out via our Contact Page citing the specific prayer, page URL, and authoritative reference. All verified corrections are promptly updated across our canonical data models.

5. Independence & Non-Commercial Commitment

GloryBePrayer.com is an independent Catholic digital initiative. To preserve a peaceful, prayerful sanctuary free of distraction:

• Zero Commercial Advertising: No banner ads, no popups, no tracking scripts, and no AdSense.
• Zero Affiliate Schemes: We do not sell promotional links or monetize devotional reading.
• Free Spiritual Access: All prayers, interactive Rosary tools, audio recordings, and printable PDF cards are provided freely to all faithful.
