Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: a journalism outlet dedicated to covering PC(USA) denominational affairs from a conservative, critical editorial standpoint, so its framing is not neutral; the fact used from it, however, is a direct quotation of the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission's own ruling, quoted verbatim: "a church may neither be compelled to pay nor punished for failure to pay any amounts pursuant to such [per capita] plan," reported as a unanimous 12-of-16 reaffirmation of a prior 1991 holding, the first such top-court ruling since a 1992 Book of Order amendment. No independent corroborating report of the same ruling was located; the single-source status is noted rather than left silent. Citation
