Abstract
At the end of his 1975 Père Marquette lecture on the “The Contributions of Theology to Medical Ethics” [2], J. M. Gustafson comes to the conclusion that these contributions are not particularly great. The volume Theology and Bioethics: Exploring the Foundations and Frontiers[3], edited by E. E. Shelp, confirms this conclusion. It follows that we can hardly expect greater things when we deal here specifically with the contribution of Catholic theology to medical ethics. Nevertheless, reference is made frequently to Catholic medical ethics, presumably because Catholic moral theology and the Catholic Church have dealt more frequently in the past with questions of medical ethics than have other religious institutions.
