Loving Heart

The Holy Order of the Loving Heart is a religious sect of the goddess Leathane and a part of the Divine Circle. This sect regales love as the "queen of all passions", and thus, the preeminent domain of their goddess. The clergy of this priesthood are often priestesses (more often than not) who fervently believe that love will conquer all hatred and evil and is the solution to all ills.
Despite their loving outlook, members of this order will fight ferociously to defend love and those that they care about. They prefer to rehabilitate enemies and reeducate them on the joys and benefits of love, but they will destroy those who are irredeemable.
This order strongly stresses that one's sexuality should be saved as much as possible for a partner that one truly loves and have made your most significant other, all other sex is weak and disrespectful. Marriage is strongly encouraged but not strictly necessary. Divorce is discouraged, it is best to find a way to keep love alive. However, a marriage without love is bad, and if the relationship is irreconcilable, it should be terminated.
This sect is one of the most publically endorsed of the goddess Leathane, emphasising pure love rather than crass sex like the Divine Pleasures, or blind adherence to passions of the moment, be they anger, love, hate, whatever as believed by the Undying Flame. Relations between the sects are poor and passions (being what they're fighting for) often flare over into violence. Making matters worse, many Divine Circle bishop's conclaves for different towns and countries have a single bishop representing Leathane, and it has to be worked out among the sects who gets the honor.

Loving Heart domain;
See One's Heart: At 1st level, a cleric of the Loving Heart can look into the state of one's heart and can tell things like how madly the target is in love, if said love is superficial, if the target's love is shared or unrequited, or if the target is lonely, or his heart is cold and dead (romantically speaking). The cleric can do this 3 times plus Cha modifier per day.
Something at 8th level. Not sure what. (ideas?)
