For Catholic fans of hip hop, one of the most enjoyable accounts to follow on twitter is @hiphopaugustine (Augustine of Hiphop)—even if you’re a Thomist. The slick rhymes are packed with smart theological insights, while also reflecting a genuine appreciation for the style and language of hip hop. Check out the top dozen tweets from @hiphopaugustine (by which I mean my favorite twelve, which undeniably reflect my bias as a non-theologian in favor of English over Latin):
