Love Is a Four-Letter Word
by Joe?Pulcinella
Father Thomas Williams apparently thinks that Pope Benedict is about to receive criticism for the topic of his encyclical: love.
?God Is Love? (?Deus Caritas Est)?? takes its title from a New Testament verse attributed to Saint John (1 John 4:16), one of Jesus? twelve apostles and author of the fourth gospel account. Benedict uses the citation as a point of departure for his affirmation of the centrality of love in the Christian life as a sum of the commandments and heart of the gospel message.
Yeah, I guess this will be a disappointment to those who think this "hardliner" will adopt the modern-day, neo-con, pro-war?reinterpretation of Christianity. But those who actually are so backward as to relate Jesus and love with Christianity...
