"Civilization of Love"

When I first saw the phrase, "civilization of love," I was struck:  What a great thought of community.
I discovered this phrase was first used by Pope Paul VI in 1970.  Pope John Paul II adopted this phrase and used it prolifically, in over 200 papal documents.

What we need is a culture of love, or more aptly put, a "civilization of love."  Perhaps if we had more love, we would be more civilized.  Or, maybe if we were more civilized, we would act with more love.  Either way is great by me.
