Pure love, defended by Fénelon in the late seventeenth century, is a love of God so disinterested that it would persist even if the soul were to be lost. Bossuet attacked the idea, and Rome condemned some of Fénelon’s propositions in 1699. The theme echoes Rābiʿa and the devotional traditions of prema.
Pure love
Love of God for his own sake alone, without any self-interest, even in one’s own salvation.
Also: amour pur
