Mea Culpa

Following on from Ben at Faith and Theology, and many others, I confess:

• I have a fondness for terms that carry more meaning in their original language than in translated English.
• I cannot understand why "change for the sake of change" is worse than "constancy for the sake of constancy".
• I am far too impatient with people whom I consider are more black-and-white than me.
• I prefer the synoptics to John; Luke to Matthew and Mark; and Acts to Paul.
• that the Catholic I would most prefer to discuss theology with is not Balthasar, Kung, Rahner or even de Lubac, but Graham Greene.
• I pity social and political progressives who promote their various issues mournfully.
• I'm grudgingly grateful for my fundamentalist schooling.
• I prefer Tom Waits to Bob Dylan.
  
• I feel envious of people whose car, desk or handwriting is much neater than mine.
  
• that caffeine is a drug, but I am not addicted.
