Interesting, I hadn't known that. Although it's still not Jesus :-) and
on investigation "with love for the people and hatred of [their] sins"
is clearly the source and yet not the same as "hate the sin and not the
sinner".

But appropriate, as we're constructing, it seems, the City of Markup, by
analogy with De Civitate Dei contra Paganos...

Thanks,
