CARING AND CURING AS ENDS OF MEDICINE IN CATHOLIC THEOLOGY ----------------- A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Sacred Theology University of Santo Tomas ----------------- In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctorate in Sacred Theology by Rev. Fr. Thomas Le Taillandier de Gabory, OP, MD, PhD (August 2018) Manila, Philippines UST FACULTY OF SACRED THEOLOGY Page ii UST FACULTY OF SACRED THEOLOGY Page iii Copyright @2018 by Thomas Le Taillandier de Gabory, OP All rights reserved UST FACULTY OF SACRED THEOLOGY Page iv ABSTRACT The dissertation explores the ends of medicine in Catholic theology. It focuses on the study, from a theological and teleological viewpoint, of two concepts: caring and curing. The main question is: What is the relationship between caring and curing as ends of medicine in Catholic theology? The method is theological with the study of the Bible, the Fathers of the Church and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, with adding philosophical (or ethical) and theological traditional and modern sources. The dissertation is divided into four parts: Part One is a biblical study which begins with the Old Testament where God appears as the only one who can cure illnesses. But a reflection on wisdom includes the role of physicians who cooperate in God’s plan for the well-being of humanity. The New Testament, especially the parable of the Good Samaritan, confirms that care is the primordial end of medicine. However, this does not mean that cure is a secondary end. In Part Two, we present the image of Christ the Physician as seen by the Fathers of the Church. He heals and saves humanity by his sufferings, by taking unto himself all the sufferings of humanity. He appears as the Man-God who suffered greatly. He is the God of compassion who calls to take care of the suffering humanity. Part Three highlights a hierarchy in the ends of medicine in the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. This is to care always, and to cure when possible. Cure is a part of care, cure is within care. This means that, in the order of intention, to care is before to cure. But in the order or execution, the two ends must be concomitant. Part Four determines how God’s plan on the ends of medicine are concretely mirrored in each physician. It seems that a confusion in the relationship between cure and UST FACULTY OF SACRED THEOLOGY Page v salvation can be at the origin of a reversal in the hierarchy of the ends of medicine. The study of the Bible, the Fathers of the Church and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church allows to put into light a theology of medicine. The primary end of medicine is to alleviate the sufferings of the world and to accompany those who suffer. This theological reflection is fundamental since therapeutic medicine, which becomes more and more techno-scientific, runs the risk of wanting to cure at all costs. Keywords: care, cure, heal, medicine, theology of medicine, medical doctor, health care, compassion, vocation, Providence, God-Healer, Christ the Physician, salvation, Good Samaritan.

  • The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from the Far East:
    The Nineteenth-Century Thomist from theF ar East: Cardinal Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894) Levine Andro H. Lao1 Center for Theology, Religious Studies and Ethics University of Santo Tomás, Manila, Philippines Abstract: In light of the celebration of the five centuries of Christianity in the Philippines, this article hopes to reintroduce Fr. Zeferino González, OP, to scholars of Church history, philosophy, and cultural heritage. He was an alumnus of the University of Santo Tomás, a Cardinal, and a champion of the revival of Catholic Philosophy that led to the promulgation of Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris. Specifically, this essay presents, firstly, the Cardinal’s biography in the context of his experience as a missionary in the Philippines; secondly, the intellectual tradition in Santo Tomás in Manila, which he carried with him until his death; and lastly, some reasons for his once-radiant memory to slip into an undeserved forgetfulness. Keywords: Zeferino González, Thomism in Asia, Aeterni Patris, Christian Philosophy, History of Philosophy n the 1880s, the University of Santo Tomás had two grand celebrations that were associated with Fr. Zeferino González, OP (1831–1894). The first pompous festivity was held in 1880 when the University received Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Aeterni Patris;2 the second was when Fray Zeferino (as how I1 Levine Andro Hernandez Lao can be contacted at [email protected].

  • Russian Nationalism
    Russian Nationalism This book, by one of the foremost authorities on the subject, explores the complex nature of Russian nationalism. It examines nationalism as a multi­ layered and multifaceted repertoire displayed by a myriad of actors. It considers nationalism as various concepts and ideas emphasizing Russia’s distinctive national character, based on the country’s geography, history, Orthodoxy, and Soviet technological advances. It analyzes the ideologies of Russia’s ultra­ nationalist and far-right groups, explores the use of nationalism in the conflict with Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, and discusses how Putin’s political opponents, including Alexei Navalny, make use of nationalism. Overall the book provides a rich analysis of a key force which is profoundly affecting political and societal developments both inside Russia and beyond.

  • Reading Abulad's Reading of Kant: Postmodernism and the Possibility
    PHAVISMINDA Journal Volume 18 (2019 Special Issue) Pages: 118 – 145 Reading Abulad’s Reading of Kant: Postmodernism and the Possibility of a Filipino Philosophy Daryl Y. Mendoza Department of Philosophy University of San Carlos [email protected] Abstract Building upon the inventory of Abulad’s work by Bolaños, I explicate the link of the different periodization of Abulad’s intellectual legacy. To do this, I first provide a reading of Abulad’s peculiar reading of Kant, particularly his Critique of Pure Reason. Second, I show how this reading informs, in style and content, Abulad’s theorization of postmodernism. Third, I explain how Abulad’s Kantian-inspired postmodernism informs his contribution to the discourse on Filipino philosophy. In the end, this paper intends to achieve a reading of Abulad that weaves the seemingly fragmentary nature of his works together in order to show a singular thought and vision. This singularity is a demonstration of the possibility of a Filipino philosophy, which in the end has to be deconstructed without reserve. Keywords: Filipino, philosophy, via negativa, via positiva, postmodernism, On Abulad’s Intellectual Legacy Romualdo Abulad taught generations of students in philosophy in different universities and institutions in this country; some of whom now occupy teaching, research and administrative posts in different academic departments throughout the country. This fact should be sufficient enough to merit more investigations of the deep undercurrents that influence the philosophizing in the Philippines
