A Catholic medical expert says he finds growing support for Church teachings among non-believers in the field of pediatrics, as shown by a recent secular journal that expresses love and care for the disabled.
The publication—“Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care”—dedicated an entire edition this year to the question of “The Quality of Life of Young Children and Infants with Chronic Medical Problems.”
“The edition is beautiful as it expresses in easy words the sense of love and acceptance of the life of the sick and disabled,” said Dr. Carlo Bellieni, a consultant for the Pontifical Academy for Life.
“And I think it’s particularly important as the articles are largely written by atheists and non-Catholics and yet they express what the Church teaches on abortion, accepting disabled babies and so on.”
