Question: Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day celebrates romantic love. It also celebreates other types of love as love exists in many forms. Ignatius of Loyola writes, "love is to be expressed more through deeds over and above words," and "love consists in a mutual sharing of goods." Has Valentine's Day broadened to include other types of loving relationship? Do you celebrate Valentine's Day with a loved one who is not your romantic partner?
