Catholic health care is one of the key places where the church lives
Catholic social teaching (CST). Yet the individualistic methodology of
Catholic bioethics inherited from the manualist tradition has yet to
incorporate this critical component of the Catholic moral tradition.
Informed by the places where Catholic health care intersects with the
diverse societal injustices embodied in the patients it encounters, this
book brings the lens of CST to bear on Catholic health care,
illuminating a new spectrum of ethical issues and practical
recommendations from social determinants of health, immigration,
diversity and disparities, behavioral health, gender-questioning
patients, and environmental and global health issues.
As we are begining a new fall semeter 2023/24 this book is worth reading!! A must-read for undergraduate and graduate students interested in
theological bioethics, as well as religious leaders and clinicians
engaging the general underrepresentation within Christian healthcare
debates concerning justice, the preferential option, and diverse
participation across a range of emerging issues.
