Sorry to disagree, but if it's used in the context of "platonic love" it's not capitalized. It's only capitalized if it's "of or relating to Plato or Platonism" (according to the dictionary, anyway. I had to look that up because I never capitalize "platonic")

Oohhh, we are so bad. Nothing like grammar police beating up on their own kind!


Hawks: LOVE the Lord's Prayer across the years! Thanks! Took me back to my linguistics classes--you can see in your post the huge impact of the Norman Conquest in 1066. Prior to that, English was a Germanic language. But then you see how the Norman languages start to infiltrate in the 12th century as the French made their cultural mark. So cool!!!
