Love and Responsibility 

• Personalistic norm - people are to be loved, not used 

• Rigoristic - only baby making 

• Libidinistic - only pleasure 

• Frui - the full culmination of joy and pleasure and true love and everything it should be. The pinnacle of human marriage 

• Love as desire - a raw material of love, the human inclination to want another person and desire to be with them and around them, more than lust but also needs to be subordinated to true love as a choice for the other persons good 

• Love as good will - love as an active choice to seek the genuine good of another person, basically being selfless in acting for their welfare 

• Spousal love - a mutual gift of self that involves a deep commitment and responsibility for another person 

• Psychological analysis of love - Includes sensuality (sexual attraction) and affectivity (emotional attraction) 

• Ethical analysis - True love and self-gift that everything else must be subordinated to. Spousal love. What love should be. Free from use and purely sexual desire. 

• Chastity (cf. resentment) -  

• Shame (of the body and of lived experience) -  

• Of the body: can help you protect the body 

• Of lived experience protects from viewing people as objects 

• Personalist norm and indissolubility - a marriage can’t be dissolved 

• Order of the person and order of nature - The "order of the person" emphasizes the inherent dignity and respect of an individual, while the "order of nature" focuses on the biological, procreative aspect of sexuality; true love integrates both by respecting the person and acknowledging the natural purpose of sexuality.
