The Apostle John also said, "Little children let us love one another, for love is of God."

So the RC's are going to try a new approach, your going to declare your self the church of love after all these years.

You have an up hill battle, because I know of no one, who that term would come to mind when they hear your name.

It is different though, but your history is against you. (^g^) JH

LOL to you. Catholics and Protestants have such different vocabularies that there are times when we have to strike out into another country. The language of love is the language of the mystical theology of the Catholic Church. It rarely enters into a discussion of theology with Protestants, but it is the very place where we might come to understand each other better.

I recommend The Ascent of Mount Carmel by St. John of the Cross to get a taste of it. For some Protestants its language may be as wild as science fiction, but it will share something more substantial about the heart of Catholic faith in Jesus -- more so than the Scholastic language we usually employ.
