Field Hospital

More about the book

Using Pope Francis's metaphor of the church as a field hospital, William Cavanaugh explores how the church can address both spiritual and material wounds in society. He delves into the relationship between theology and critical issues like religious freedom and economic injustice, arguing that the church must approach these challenges with humility and solidarity, acknowledging its shared guilt in human sin. Cavanaugh advocates for a church that actively engages with the world's suffering, aiming to heal rather than judge.
