Saint Augustine quote banned

Facebook banned Saint Augustine, or at least a mild mannered quote of his.

Facebook banned Saint Augustine, or at least a mild mannered quote conveying the message to stop focusing on the sins of others and concentrate on your own, a rewording of Jesus' Gospel (Matthew 7:3). Telling snowflakes and Facebook to mind their own busines was too much. After many complaints, it was later fixed without explanation or clarity on what went wrong.

Telling far leftists that they should focus on their own sings and not the sins of others, just hit way too close to home. But getting caught censoring such a stupid thing was something they were forced to fix. Unlike when they censor most people.

❝ Let us never assume that if we live good lives we will be without sin; our lives should be praised only when we continue to beg for pardon. But men are hopeless creatures, and the less they concentrate on their own sins, the more interested they become in the sins of others. They seek to criticize, not to correct. Unable to excuse themselves, they are ready to accuse others. ❞
~ Saint Augustine ℹ️

It appears to be silently fixed. But that lack of transparency is the problem for me.

Why was it blocked?
Why was it fixed?
What's the criteria?

This is all a failure of Facebook to manage their messaging. And the arrogance of "we'll decide for the users, and not let them know the details" is the fundamental problem.
