  3. Purpose of Directives(in Preamble) • To affirm ethical standards and norms • To provide authoritative guidance • To serve institutionally-based Catholic healthcare • To provide professionals, patients and families with principles and guides for making decisions in any setting

  4. Intended Audience(in Preamble) • Sponsors & trustees • Administrators • Spiritual caregivers & chaplains • Physicians & healthcare professionals • Patients, families & surrogates

  5. General Format • Divided into six parts covering six major areas of concern in Catholic health care • Each part divided into two sections: • An Introduction in the form of a narrative, providing a biblical and theological context • Followed by individually numbered Directives addressing specific issues

  7. Limitations & Cautions • The Directives do not provide ready answers for every moral dilemma • They are not an exhaustive summary of the Church’s moral teaching • Their application to a particular case may require consultation with individuals who have theological competency

  8. Limitations & Cautions • Some may be tempted to interpret the Directives more narrowly or loosely than warranted by the Church’s moral teaching • Different valid conclusions about what to do in a given case can sometimes occur • Directives may be revised as Church teaching on unclear or uncertain moral matters is clarified at an authoritative level

  9. Exercise 1) Break up into six groups, one for each of the six parts of the ERDs 2) Read silently the Introduction to your part of the ERDs 3) As a group identify several key ideas or points in the Introduction 4) Prepare to present your findings to the whole group
