The Ministry of Incompetence: The Play's the Thing, Horatio

The Ministry of Incompetence. Reflections of a Christian at Odds With Christendom. Saturday, June 07, 2008. The Play's the Thing, Horatio. As a momento to this evening, I thought I might quote the one of the most famous soliloquys in all of Shakespeare's back catalogue. The artful way in which Shakespeare writes is remarkable at the best of times, but one is only made aware of his brilliance when one hears his plays well performed:. To be, or not to be: that is the question:. And by opposing end them?

The Ministry of Incompetence: August 2008
http://ministryofincompetence.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
The Ministry of Incompetence. Reflections of a Christian at Odds With Christendom. Thursday, August 07, 2008. From paragraph 2011 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:. The charity of Christ is the source in us of all our merits before God. Grace, by uniting us to Christ in active love, ensures the supernatural quality of our acts and consequently their merit before God and before men. The saints have always had a lively awareness that their merits were pure grace. Thursday, August 07, 2008.

The Ministry of Incompetence: What Does it Mean to Love Jesus?
http://ministryofincompetence.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-does-it-mean-to-love-jesus.html
The Ministry of Incompetence. Reflections of a Christian at Odds With Christendom. Monday, May 11, 2009. What Does it Mean to Love Jesus? Many Christians instinctively take offence at the idea that they practice a religion. Quite often, they'll be quick be point out that they're about relationship, not religion. It's a strange assertion, given that St James says that there is nothing inherently wrong about being religious:. Does one love someone, or does one love something about someone? The difference b...

The Ministry of Incompetence. Reflections of a Christian at Odds With Christendom. Thursday, January 31, 2008. The Truth of the Matter. In just over two weeks, my name will officially be entered into the roll of New South Wales legal practitioners. One may either look at this moment as the culmination of seven years of study and work experience or as the start of everything that it yet to come. I am feeling many things at the moment, ranging from excitement, to pride, to nostalgia, to sheer relief. I don...

The Ministry of Incompetence. Reflections of a Christian at Odds With Christendom. Friday, May 30, 2008. The Run is (Probably) Over. Well, it looks like the end. So far I've blogged every day this year, making 152 days in total. In doing that I've probably sacrificed quality for the sake of quantity - but people don't seem to appreciate quality anyway, do they? Maybe there are some computer heads out there who could set up a program that will "auto blog" for me at twenty-four hour intervals? Some of my r...

I'm just wondering if there are any people who could help me get a grasp on this great tome? Perhaps it may be better to read Homer's Odyssey first so I have at least a background knowledge of what Joyce is on about? Or perhaps there is no hope? Saturday, June 14, 2008.

The Ministry of Incompetence: The Protestant Myth of its Own Origins
http://ministryofincompetence.blogspot.com/2008/07/protestant-myth-of-its-own-origins_31.html
The Ministry of Incompetence. Reflections of a Christian at Odds With Christendom. Thursday, July 31, 2008. The Protestant Myth of its Own Origins. Recently I've been perusing a website entitled "Biblical Evidence for Catholicism". Clearly, the abovementioned self-understanding is no longer held universally among those who call themselves Protestants. However, for Evangelicals (and particularly, for Calvinists), who regard themselves as the true inheritors of authentic Protestantism, this identity is...
