Augustine's Sermon 227 is just one of several early Christian primary sources, both textual and iconographic (i.e., in works of art) providing clear evidence that the "kiss of peace" as practiced in the Christian liturgy was customarily exchanged for the first several centuries, not mouth to cheek, but mouth to mouth (note that men were separated from women during the liturgy) for, as the primary sources also show, this is how early Christians believed Christ and his followers exchanged their own kiss. For example, in his Paschale carmen ( c. 425–50), Latin priest-poet Sedulius condemns Judas and his betrayal of Christ with a kiss thus, "And leading that sacrilegious mob with its menacing swords and spikes, you press your mouth against his, and infuse your poison into his honey?"

[28] :29 [29] :38 [30] Ficino is "perhaps the most important Platonic commentator and teacher in the Renaissance". [3] :128 The Symposium became the most important text for conceptions of love in general during the Renaissance. [28] :29 In his commentary on Plato, Ficino interprets amor platonicus (" Platonic love") and amor socraticus ("Socratic love") allegorically as idealized male love, in keeping with Church doctrine. [31] Ficino's interpretation of the Symposium influenced a philosophical view that the pursuit of knowledge, particularly self-knowledge, required the sublimation of sexual desire. [28] :2 Ficino thus began the long historical process of suppressing the homoeroticism of [32] in particular, the dialogue Charmides "threatens to expose the carnal nature of Greek love" which Ficino sought to minimize.

There had been conflicting stories regarding whether Kiss would record another album. Simmons had said "yes" in interviews, saying that he had songs written and lined up for a new album. Stanley and Thayer disputed this, however, and said that they did not vow to make one and that the band could move forward without new music. [189] [190] However, on March 25, 2021, Stanley stated that he hasn't ruled out the possibility of Kiss producing new music, [191] with both Simmons and Stanley stating in later interviews that the band doesn't need to record another album.

Within the Roman Rite, instructions for the sign of peace differ depending on the liturgy being performed. In the Tridentine Mass, the sign of peace is given at Solemn Masses alone and is exchanged only among the clergy (unless emperors, kings or princes were present, in which case they, too, received the greeting by means of a paxbrede). [10] It is given by extending both arms in a slight embrace with the words Pax tecum ("Peace be with you"), first by the priest celebrant to the deacon, who in turn gives it to the subdeacon, who gives the sign to any other clergy present in choir dress. [17] There also existed a custom in some places of the groom giving the Peace to the bride at the Nuptial Mass. [18] [19] [20] However, unlike the present form of the Roman Rite, neither the bride nor the groom would pass the peace to anyone else. [21]Kiss appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 20, 2012.
