If a Denarian can literally flick an Archangel in the face, I dont think they have much in the way of Enforced Decorum regarding TWG

He posed no threat to him though. It was a calculated insult. On the other hand, glorified threshold, heh. Put your finger on it both of you did. Its God's House. That's equal to stepping into his inner sanctum, his power here on earth. Think about what that threshold is MADE of regardless of it being HIS home.

To be fair, that was Nick, not Anduriel. Yes, Anduriel was there, but it wasn't Archangel vs Fallen.
As ot Enforced decorum, I'm still unconvinced that the fallen, and even Lucy, aren't all part of TWG's plan.

Not all that much, considering that in two different books we've had things break through it (GP and PG, ironically).
Assuming it works on the same principles as an actual Threshold, it would presumably vary based on the family-style Belief of those that actually Live there (ie the line-in clergy). So not only would they need to be honestly devout, they'd need to personally view the building as a Home (of themselves and of God) rather than a Public place or a business of any sort. Not dissimilar to how Mort had to make very specific boundaries between his Home and his Home Office.

No, it's not based on 'who lives there' in that sense. It's about who lives there in the technical sense of qualifying as a church. Now those qualifications... beyond my kin, I can see at least 3 different variations with more coming down the pipe, none of which solves for X. Churches despite possessing money aren't considered financial business's btw. That's why they get the tax breaks similar to non profit orgs. So you can have clergy living there or not, huge organizational monetary stability and still be considered a 'church'. I'd argue any valid church, molosk, ect. qualifies as long as it's to a monotheistic deity.
