For Cicero, friendship involves genuine, deeply felt affection, which he repeatedly calls ‘love,’ using the Latin caritas and amor.
And there's a long tradition that's talked about this using the word caritas or mutuality, and, this is within the Christian tradition.
The Latin term for charity, caritas , implies an act of giving by the ‘haves ‘to the ‘have-nots ‘- out of the goodness of their hearts.’
It is interesting though that the speaker, while identifying caritas in familiar, Christian terms, actually downplays its rich, religious significance.
They did this primarily by promoting new devotions, such as that to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which celebrated a very medieval idea of love or caritas .
