JUST IN: Economic analysis of 64 countries finds that nations with more billionaires per capita tend to have fewer people living in poverty.
The Protestant reliance on Augustine is something almost nobody names directly. The Reformation didn’t go back to the apostles — it went back to Augustine. Forensic justification, total depravity, predestination, the legal-penal framework — this is Augustinian theology filtered through medieval categories that Luther and Calvin then systematized further
Sola scriptura was the right instinct — get back behind the institutional accumulation to the text itself. But Protestantism smuggled Augustine in through the back door while throwing Rome out the front. It’s not really the apostolic deposit either. It’s a 4th century North African theological genius whose framework became invisible because it became foundational.
The Catholic Magisterium, operates (seemingly unaware) with divine authority over Scripture and Tradition both. It adjudicates what Scripture means. It determines which Tradition is authentic. It defines new dogma. That’s not a servant of revelation; that’s a source of revelation.
Progressives were always the biggest threat to the environment

On Dec 15, our YouTube channel Onion Nuggetz ( [at]OnionNuggetz ) received a one-week suspension notice for a single video, with no indication that termination was imminent. On Dec 17, the channel was terminated entirely, with no additional strikes and no opportunity to remediate. This appears inconsistent with YouTube’s graduated enforcement process.
Our channel is a news and commentary podcast focused on public figures. Enforcement on a specific segment may have been warranted, but escalation from a warning directly to termination skipped the standard steps outlined in policy.
The channel had over 800 paying members and provided income for the hosts, whose families are directly affected by this action. The issue here is procedural consistency, not disagreement over enforcement authority.

1 Clement, Chapter 45, Verses 1-4
45:1 Be contentious, brothers, and zealous about the things that pertain to salvation.
45:2 You have studied the holy scriptures, which are true and inspired by the Holy Spirit.
45:3 You know that nothing unjust or fraudulent is written in them. You will not find that the righteous have been cast out by holy men.
45:4 The righteous were persecuted, but by the lawless; they were imprisoned, but by the unholy; they were stoned by lawbreakers; they were killed by those who had an unjust and wicked jealousy.
My problem with the Catholic world view is it determines “real” Christians by their roots and not their fruits
