| Summary: | Drawing on the resonant witnesses of Pope Francis and Paul Farmer, this article highlights three concepts/practices crucial for shifting Catholic healthcare to a social justice model: their scathing critiques of neoliberalism and its notion of "throwaway" people; their shared commitment to listening to the poor/culture of encounter; and a multi-faceted "integral ecology" as remediation for deep structures of violence. These are the indispensable intellectual, pragmatic, and theological starting points for the necessary task of resocializing Catholic healthcare leadership. |
