CALL FOR CONFERENCE PROPOSALS: "CATHOLIC HEALTHCARE ETHICS IN THE AGE OF POPE FRANCIS"
Sponsored by the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics & Health Policy of Loyola University Chicago, the Catholic Health Association, and the Illinois Catholic Health Association, Oct. 9 – 10, 2014
Pope Francis has captured the attention of the world by recommitting the Church to its mission to the poor and marginalized. This has opened a new dialogue on our priorities and challenges in Catholic healthcare. This conference will focus on the implications of the message of the Holy Father for our day-to-day work in Catholic healthcare. We seek proposals for a limited number of peer-reviewed sessions. Accepted proposals will join a prestigious group of invited speakers. Send an abstract of your proposed paper to Mark Kuczewski at [email protected] by May 8, 2014.
All relevant topics that might impact Catholic health-care ethics in the United States will be considered, including Pope Francis' concept of evangelization, ecclesiology (e.g., the metaphor of Church as field hospital, the potential decentralization of the teaching office of the Church, the relationship of doctrine to pastoral responses to moral challenges), and the place of subsidiarity. The conference will explore how these ecclesial themes might impact the challenges arising in the evolving health-care landscape of the United States and traditional clinical moral issues are of interest.
