More arguing with Catholics
As a follow-up to my post earlier this week, here’s Soul Device‘s take on “Arguing with Catholics”:

Who’s the Holiest Father?
Oh, things just got real… Argentina will be playing Germany in the World Cup on Sunday…which means we have a Pope-Off! Will the Argentinian bring a few surprises? Will the German team retire early?
So which team are you supporting? #TeamFrancis or #TeamBenedict?
Wise Words on Wednesday: Like a thirsty man
[Pope John Paul’s] holiness attracted me like a thirsty man to a glass of cool water

Does God share His glory?
There are some posts to which I regularly refer/hyperlink during apologetic discussions. Many of these kinds of posts are now found in this blog’s sidebar.
I link to such posts because it saves me from repeatedly writing the same explanation, and it also helps limit the highjacking of the discussion thread with side issues. If someone wants to dispute the particular assertion then they have an entire blog post in which to do it where I make my case.
Today’s post is one of those posts which I think I’ll be linking to regularly…
Last week I was dialoguing with a commenter by the name “Sola Fide” and he made the assertion which I’ve heard many times before:
Sharing the glory of Christ with a human is idolatry… You are sharing the glory of Christ with Mary…
– User “Sola Fide”
Although it comes from admirable intentions, statements like this are rather mind-boggling when one considers the Biblical data available. Does the Bible ever speak about God sharing His glory with mere creatures? The short answer is, yes…
Music Monday: Benedictus
This week we continue with the classical theme. Today’s piece for Music Monday is “Benedictus” by Karl Jenkins. If you like this, then I’d thoroughly recommend you check out the beautiful instrumental version performed by 2Cellos.
Benedictus
(Blessed)
Qui venit in nomine Domini
(Who comes in the name of the Lord)
Tutti: Hosanna in excelsis

Baptism Annivesary
Last week it was my Confirmation Anniversary. Today it’s my Baptism anniversary!
This year my baptism will mainly be celebrated with gelato…
What was so special about Joseph’s Coat?
MAN WARNING! THIS POST WILL BE ABOUT CLOTHES…
This last weekend I went to see the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat in San Diego.
It was an extremely nostalgic experience for me, since as a child I watched this show countless times at the theatre, as well as performing in it in a summer school production. Naturally, in that production I played the role of Pharaoh, the show’s coolest character by far. I even had my own backup dancers and everything! 🙂
In preparation for the trip to see the show, a few days before in Bible Study, we read through the Biblical text of the story found at the end of Genesis, beginning around chapter thirty-seven and continuing for about ten chapters.
