If someone your love commits a crime, and you decide to go and tell them that what they did is wrong, does that label you as 'not loving them?' No. In all reality, you are correcting them because you DO love them. So when I speak to you here, don't say that it is an act of uncharity, but rather, it is out of Christian 'love' that I am trying to help you see the light.

On the contrary, by having the type of respectful conversations that are occuring here and explaining truths, not reasonings, then love is being showed to all. Because beliefs are different doesn't mean that one has to treat another any different. As a matter of fact, the proper teaching is to go out of our way to express even more love to those who are not believers, using words, actions and prayers. To lead by example and to show others a true apostolic way of life, demonstrated wholeheartedly by Our Lady Queen of Heaven, while she lived on earth. We must all demonstrate God's love to our neighbors that is correct, by showing that love to our neighbors we show that love to God. Therefore the quote mentioned by Barry is correct. But keep in mind speaking truisms does not display a lack of love to our neighbors, it displays true love to our neighbors. After all isn't truth what we all really want anyway?
