Enacting Mercy: Pope Francis and an Ethics of Institutions - Paperback
Description
by Clemens Sedmak (Author)
Institutions--their structures, rules, and the people who work within them--can vitally support or drastically undermine human dignity. In Enacting Mercy, internationally renowned scholar and author Clemens Sedmak considers the moral possibilities and vulnerabilities for institutions and institution-building in our dynamic world. Clear and accessible, convicted and hopeful, Sedmak's writing speaks to practitioners, administrators, scholars, and pastors alike. Inspired by the witness and teaching of Pope Francis, Sedmak insightfully guides readers through ethically rich theory and practical cases of institutional life and the possibility for mercy to become our watchword.
