Proper vs abusive use of love’s name

If someone says that we are also said to “love” money or a prostitute by the same word, it must be known that in these cases charity is named not properly but abusively. Charity properly tends toward God and toward the neighbor; other things are said to be loved only by misuse of the word. So it makes no difference in the Scriptures whether amor or caritas or dilectio is said, so long as the same force of affection is meant; but where there is occasion of falling, Scripture usually avoids the name amor and uses caritas.
