Q: What do you mean by “getting love right”?
Father Williams: Love has many different meanings and is easily cheapened and spoiled.
As Benedict acknowledges early on in his letter, we speak of love of country, love of one’s profession, love between friends, love of work, love between parents and children, love between family members, love of neighbor and love of God.
Moreover, people often associate love with mere feelings that come and go, or with selfishness and desire.
