Pope Calls for Person-Centered Health Care Benedict XVI is calling for a type of health care reform that brings medical professionals to lovingly focus on patients as persons in all their integrity. The Pope made this recommendation in a message to the World Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, which concluded its four-day twenty-third World Congress on Sunday. Some two thousand medical professionals from fifty countries took part in this congress-pilgrimage, held in Lourdes, France. It focused on Our Faith as Doctors.... Our Lady's presence The president of the federation, José María Simón Castellví, told ZENIT that this year's congress was particularly marked by the spiritual elements linked to the shrine at Lourdes. The scientific program was divided into four sessions dedicated to God the Creator, Jesus Christ the Redeemer, the Holy Spirit, Sanctifier, and a last pro-life session, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. During the congress, the Federation of Catholic Doctors conferred the Science and Faith Prize, normally given to a doctor, to the chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo. Simón Castellví explained that the prize was in recognition of "his tireless defense of science and faith" and "this year it has been given to a bishop also because it is the Year of the Priest." FIAMC is made up of some sixty national associations of Catholic doctors worldwide Click here for the complete article. The director and editors of The Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
