Document Details : Title: Health and Medicine in the Catholic Tradition Author(s): McCORMICK, R.A. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 62 Issue: 1 Date: April 1986 Pages: 207-215 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.62.1.556321 Abstract : My title is pretentious and misleading. Therefore from the outset I should make it clear what I do not mean by it, and what I do mean. First I do not mean that Catholics have a kind of 'truth-cabinet' marked 'for Catholics only' which they open when confronted with bioethical problems. Second, and obviously, I do not mean to suggest an exhaustive treatment of my title. All four words ('health,' 'medicine,' 'Catholic,' 'tradition'), if dissected adequately, would keep me here for longer than your patience would tolerate. |
