Love should not be confused with lust, says Pope

[arieh0310]

Pope Benedict XVI’s first encyclical, expected in the next few days, warns believers not to confuse love with lust or degrade it “to mere sex”.

The encyclical, a papal letter to bishops that sets out Roman Catholic policy, discusses the relationship between “eros”, or erotic love, and “agape”, a Greek word referring to unconditional, spiritual and selfless love.

“It is not totally negative on eros,” a Vatican source said. “It argues that eros under the right circumstances is OK.”
