Protestia is a polemical Christian news and discernment outlet dedicated to reporting, analysis, and theological critique in an age of widespread censorship and ecclesiastical decline.

We document the ongoing downgrade of the visible church while serving as a resource for Christians seeking clarity about influential figures, movements, and institutions that abuse the bride of Christ and lead believers away from sound biblical orthodoxy.

In our reporting and analysis, we strive to:

• Provide primary sources whenever possible

• Link original documentation, including video and images

• Offer full quotations in proper context

• Cite other outlets reporting the same facts

• Convey the truth accurately and without deference to institutional power

Protestia also publishes commentary and opinion from within the theological and worldview framework of conservative evangelical Protestant Christianity.

A Protestant Publication

The name Protestia is a deliberate reference to the Protestant Reformation and the continuing duty of the church to reform according to Scripture (Semper Reformanda).

All writers, contributors, and volunteers who serve this publication are Protestant Christians and members in good standing of local congregations. Those unaffiliated with an established Protestant church may not participate in our work.

Our contributors come from a variety of Protestant traditions, including Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and Congregationalists. While not all contributors agree on every doctrinal distinctive, the theological content explicitly advanced by this publication is generally agreeable to the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689).

Many topics covered by Protestia do not implicate confessional differences, and we enjoy happy cooperation with Protestant believers who share our worldview on matters not directly tied to those distinctions.

Confessional and Doctrinal Commitments

All writers, contributors, and volunteers associated with Protestia affirm the fundamentals of the Christian faith and subscribe to the following doctrinal statements:

• The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth

• The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy

• The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

• The Dallas Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel

• The Norman Statement on Abortion Abolition

While unity in the essentials of the faith is required, responsible disagreement on secondary and tertiary matters is permitted.

Editorial Standards & Publication Policy

What is Protestia as an institution?

Protestia is a journalistic outlet governed by editorial standards, not a single authorial voice or personality.

Its role is to publish and curate content that meets those standards, not to function as a unified speaker on every issue it covers.

How is Protestia operated?

Protestia is primarily operated by a small editorial team responsible for reporting, commentary, and curation. It is not a general submissions platform.

On occasion, Protestia may publish or share material from outside writers when such material aligns with its editorial standards and mission. Publication reflects an editorial judgment about the content, not the elevation of the author to a representative or spokesperson role.

How should readers understand authorship and attribution?

Each article, essay, or analysis:

• Represents the arguments and conclusions of its author

• Is published because it meets Protestia’s editorial criteria

• Should be evaluated on its own claims and reasoning

Unless explicitly stated, individual arguments should not be treated as institutional positions.

Does Protestia hold official positions on all subjects it covers?

No.

Protestia’s institutional commitments are limited to:

• Confessional Christian orthodoxy

• Biblical clarity where Scripture speaks directly

• Accountability in the visible church

• Accurate reporting and responsible analysis

On secondary and tertiary matters—including eschatology, cultural analysis, geopolitics, and prudential judgments—Protestia may publish material reflecting differing emphases or arguments without adopting them as institutional positions.

Do Protestia’s editorial standards restrict the personal views of contributors?

No.

Protestia’s editorial standards govern what the platform publishes, not what individual authors may believe, argue, or emphasize in other contexts.

Contributors may:

• Hold explicit views on secondary or tertiary matters

• Argue forcefully for particular theological, cultural, or political positions

• Publish work elsewhere reflecting their own convictions

Protestia’s decision to publish or share material reflects an editorial judgment about that material alone.

How does Protestia evaluate authors and material?

Protestia evaluates content, not networks.

Editorial decisions are based on:

• The substance of the material

• Its theological and factual integrity

• Its relevance to Protestant Christianity

Protestia does not evaluate or certify:

• An author’s entire body of work

• Every external association or publisher

• Every position an author holds outside the published material

This content-based approach allows Protestia to publish material from known figures without inheriting all of their views or affiliations.

Does publishing or sharing material imply endorsement?

No.

Publishing or sharing material indicates that:

• The content is worthy of engagement

• The argument is relevant to the church

• The material meets editorial standards

It does not imply:

• Full agreement with every conclusion

• Endorsement of all related views held by the author

• Adoption of the material as an institutional statement

How does Protestia handle disagreement, correction, and controversy?

When doctrinal error, factual inaccuracy, or clear moral failure appear within published material, Protestia addresses it through:

• Analysis

• Critique

• Clarification

• Correction, where appropriate

Protestia does not issue institutional rebukes or distancing statements based solely on:

• External associations

• Publishing arrangements elsewhere

• Public pressure campaigns

• Demands for symbolic disavowal

Social Media and Distribution

Protestia distributes content through its website, newsletter, and various social media platforms in order to bypass institutional and Big Tech censorship.

Social media activity is intended for editorial engagement and distribution, not as formal policy declarations or comprehensive statements of institutional belief.

On Polemics and Discernment

Protestia is engaged in the historic theological practice of polemics—the refutation of doctrinal error within the visible church.

Scripture commands believers to:

• Test all things (1 Thess. 5:21)

• Refute false teaching (Titus 1:9)

• Mark and avoid those who preach a false gospel (Rom. 16:17; Gal. 1:8–9)

Christ, the apostles, and the early church all practiced public, forceful theological confrontation when truth and souls were at stake.

Polemics is not opposed to love; it is often its necessary expression.

Accountability

All individuals associated with Protestia are required to be members of local churches and are accountable first to God, then to the brethren within those congregations.

We maintain a public corrections and retractions policy and do not “ghost edit” material without acknowledgment.

Use of Our Content

All Protestia content is free to use and share. We only ask that:

• Proper credit is given (e.g., “h/t Protestia.com”), or

• Our watermark is not removed

If that works for you, share freely.

Summary

Protestia is a Protestant, polemical journalism outlet governed by editorial standards.
It publishes arguments, not consensus statements; evaluates content on its merits; and distinguishes institutional commitments from individual analysis.
