Does the Catholic Church teach that the type of love shared between all heavenly members is an affectionate brotherly love mentioned in the Bible, for example, in Romans 12:10 and 2 Peter 1:5-7? Below are the verses from Romans 12:10: > Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour. (NRSV) > Love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honour. (RSV) > (τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ εἰς ἀλλήλους φιλόστοργοι τῇ τιμῇ ἀλλήλους προηγούμενοι.) Below are the verses from 2 Peter 1:5-7 (emphasis added): > For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and *brotherly affection with love.*
