False conclusion # 1
gThe prostitute walked the streets searching for whatever drove her to believe that love could be found among those desiring to abuse her.h
Brings a tear to the eye, doesnft it? On the other hand, the evidence from the common perception of her profession is that she did it for money.
False conclusion # 2
gpiety, that destroyed any attempt at loving another personh
A non sequitur. Love is destroyed by sin, not piety. Piety, either official or informal, can be either righteous or sinful depending on the sincerity of the person.
False conclusion # 3
gSimon the official churchman had died to love, to serve laws that had killed any prospect of love, of another human person.h
A simple repetition of the above.
False conclusion # 4
eThe uninvited guest continued to believe that she was capable of loving another person, and believed she could be loved by another human being...bringing her to the feet of Jesus to seek solace. This woman was alive..and Jesus spoke of her, "Her sins which are many are forgiven, because she loved much."f
The quotation undermines your conclusion, Alex. Having recognised Christ as a truly holy man, she came to have her sins forgiven, not to seek merely human love.
