Is Juliet Catholic? Why does Juliet insist on marriage? Does Romeo actually want to get married?
Does Romeo & Juliet present a healthy view of romantic love? Of sacrificial love?
*The Apostle's Creed--the prologue to the Christian story
*1 Corinthians 13--a portrait of Divine Love
*Who is the real St. Valentine? What is his day all about?
*At its highest point, Christian love is self-sacrificial. The God-Man's (Jesus') death on the Roman Empire's torture and death-device is the highest example of this, and God himself is Triune, a three-but-one being that is, in Himself, an example of self-giving love to the other members of the Trinity. Do any characters in Romeo & Juliet live up to this high standard of love set by the Christian God who is TRIUNE and INCARNATE?
