Episode 3 of Martyr Mentality dives straight into the centuries-old debate over where ultimate Christian authority really lives. Abbot Ankido Sipo and Br. Augustine Joseph trace the battle lines from the 16th-century Reformers to today’s TikTok theologians, unpacking why the early Church, the canon of Scripture, and the lived teaching office (magisterium) can’t be separated without tearing the Gospel in two.
