Bill, regarding your question about types of love in Post 9, could they be caritas and cupiditas? Augustine talks about them: The carnal will he called cupiditas, or cupidity, and the spiritual will he called caritas, which is the Latin translation of the Christian term, agapé, which means "selfless love." But caritas is more than selfless love; it is the will to be like God and to be united with God. It is, in simple terms, the will to God, while cupidity is the will to flesh (think Cupid and his little darts).
