Rights of Conscience: Fundamental Freedom or Discriminatory Disqualifier?
Dr. Lane will explore the underlying assumptions that animated the practice of Medicine in Western Civilization and how those assumptions have fundamentally changed, creating an environment that progressively threatens the ability of the Christian physician to practice medicine in accordance with his/her faith. He will discuss why continued public support for a physician’s right to exercise a their conscience will be critical if faithful Catholics are to continue Christ’s healing ministry in the public square.
