CATHOLIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
Upholding the Principles of the Catholic Faith in the Science and Practice of Medicine
September 25, 2014
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
President
Paul J. Braaton, M.D.
Dear Colleagues,
The Orlando Guild and all the Catholic Medical Association Guilds of Florida are
honored to host the 83rd Annual Educational Conference of the Catholic Medical
Association. We warmly welcome each of you to Florida, “The Sunshine State.”
President-elect
Peter T. Morrow, M.D.
Vice President
Lester A. Ruppersberger, D.O.
In these challenging times, Pope Benedict XVI has spoken of the need for “courage
to contradict the prevailing mindset…and the courage to stand firm in the truth.”
This year’s conference theme, Courage in Medicine: Defending and Proclaiming the
Faith in the New Evangelization will examine the grave threats posed by a radical
and progressive secularization of our society and its impact on the practice of
medicine. We will focus on the virtue of moral courage and its importance to all
physicians and medical professionals who bear public moral witness to the critical
medical issues of our times. We will underscore the necessity of defending the
most vulnerable in our society and expose the tactics being used to dehumanize
them. Lastly, we will discuss the critical mission healthcare professionals have in
advancing the New Evangelization.
Treasurer
Marie-Alberte Boursiquot, M.D.
Our conference committee has assembled a highly distinguished faculty,
representing the fields of medicine, theology, law and journalism. These men and
women have been selected not only for their great knowledge but also for the
courageous witness they have shown in their respective disciplines.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
It is our sincere prayer that this conference will enrich the faith and education of
all participants and that each of us will leave fortified and inspired by grace and
knowledge. We echo the words of Our Holy Father, Pope Francis: “My wish is that
all of us, after these days of grace, will have the courage, yes the courage, to walk in
the presence of the Lord.”

JESUS, MY PATIENT
Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person
of your sick, and, while caring for them, minister unto you.
O beloved sick, how doubly dear you are to me,
when you personify Christ; and what a privilege it is
to be allowed to care for you.
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity
of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities.
Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness,
unkindness or impatience.
And O God, while you are Jesus, my patient,
deign also to be patient with me, bearing with my faults,
looking only to my intention, which is to love
and serve you in the person of each of your sick.
Lord, increase my faith, bless my efforts
and work, now and forevermore. Amen
BLESSED MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA

PRAYER OF THE CATHOLIC PHYSICIAN
LORD JESUS,
Divine Physician, who in your earthly life showed special concern for those who suffer
and entrusted to your disciples the ministry of healing, make us ever ready to alleviate
the trials of our brethren. Make each one of us, aware of the great mission that is
entrusted to him, strive always to be, in the performance of daily service, an instrument
of your merciful love. Enlighten our minds, guide our hands, make our hearts diligent
and compassionate. Ensure that in every patient we know how to discern the features
of your divine Face.
YOU WHO ARE THE WAY, provide us with the gift of knowing how to imitate You
every day as medical doctors not only of the body but of the whole person, helping
those who are sick to tread with trust their own earthly path until the moment of their
encounter with You.
YOU WHO ARE THE TRUTH, provide us with the gift of wisdom and science in
order to penetrate the mystery of man and his transcendent destiny as we draw near to
him in order to discover the causes of his malady and find suitable remedies for it.
YOU WHO ARE THE LIFE, provide us with the gift of preaching and bearing witness
to the ‘Gospel of life’ in our profession, committing ourselves to defending it always,
from conception to its natural end, and to respect the dignity of every human being,
and especially the dignity of the weakest and the most in need.
Make us O Lord, Good Samaritans, ready to welcome, treat, and console those we
encounter in our work. Following the example of the holy medical doctors who have
preceded us, help us to offer our generous contribution to the constant renewal of
health care structures.
Bless our studies and our profession; enlighten our research and our teaching. Lastly,
grant to us, having constantly loved and served You in our suffering brethren, that at
the end of our earthly pilgrimage we may contemplate your glorious countenance and
experience the joy of the encounter with You in your Kingdom of joy and everlasting
peace. Amen

THE VATICAN, JUNE 29, 2000

The 1995 Restatement of
THE OATH OF HIPPOCRATES
I SWEAR in the presence of the Almighty and before my family, my teachers and my peers that
according to my ability and judgment I will keep this oath and stipulation:
TO RECKON all who have taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents and in the same
spirit and dedication to impart a knowledge of the art of medicine to others. I will continue
with diligence to keep abreast of advances in medicine. I will treat without exception all who
seek my ministrations, so long as the treatment of others is not compromised thereby, and I will
seek the counsel of particularly skilled physicians where indicated for the benefit of my patient.
I WILL FOLLOW that method of treatment which according to my ability and judgment, I
consider for the benefit of my patient and abstain from whatever is harmful or mischievous. I
will neither prescribe nor administer a lethal dose of medicine to any patient even if asked nor
counsel any such thing nor perform act or omission with direct intent deliberately to end a
human life. I will maintain the utmost respect for every human life from fertilization to natural
death and reject abortion that deliberately takes a unique human life.
WITH PURITY, HOLINESS, AND BENEFICENCE I will pass my life and practice my art.
Except for the prudent correction of imminent danger, I will neither treat any patient nor carry
out any research on any human being without the valid informed consent of the subject or the
appropriate legal protector thereof, understanding that research must have as its purpose the
furtherance of the health of that individual. Into whatever patient setting I enter, I will go for
the benefit of the sick and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief or corruption and
also from the seduction of any patient.
WHATEVER IN CONNECTION with my professional practice or not in connection with
it I may see or hear in the lives of my patients which ought not be spoken abroad I will not
divulge, reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
WHILE I CONTINUE to keep this oath unviolated may it be granted to me to enjoy life and
the practice of the art and science of medicine with the blessing of the Almighty and respected
by my peers and society, but should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.
As introduced by the Value of Life Committee, Inc., June, 1995.

ACADEMIC OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
The ethical foundations of Western medicine were laid down by Hippocrates in ancient Greece. Hippocrates, extolled for his moral courage, boldly rejected the relativistic values of Greek mainstream medicine and staunchly defended the dignity of each human life. In today’s contemporary culture of moral
relativism, physicians also must courageously battle assaults on human life and human dignity. This
three-day conference will examine the grave threats to medical practitioners and their patients that have
arisen from a radical and progressive secularization and explore its impact on the medical profession. It
will delve into areas of medical practice that demand great moral courage: safeguarding the sanctity of
life and the dignity of each patient, defending the rights of conscience, preserving the patient/physician

and are escorted to the Shark Encounter Attraction. An aviary of roseate spoonbills
will welcome you at the entry of the exhibit. Once inside, you will journey through
one of the world’s largest underwater viewing tunnels for a rare, close-as-you-dare
look at these amazing sea creatures. Prepare for an exhilarating encounter with the
prehistoric predators whose ancestors dominated the sea over a hundred million years
before dinosaurs walked the earth. You will continue to “mingle” with the sharks as
you enter the Sharks Underwater Grill where the the only thing more amazing than
the food is the view! Join us for this “not to be missed” Florida experience!

LUNCHEON ADDRESS
St. Thomas More, Saint of Conscience: A Man for This Season
St. Thomas More stands as a model of conscience for all of us who battle against religious tyranny. Mr. Charles LiMandri studied the life and works of St. Thomas More for a year as a graduate student in Oxford England. His immersion in the works of St. Thomas More began a lifetime of devotion to this courageous saint. The lessons of St Thomas
More’s life and death are invaluable in our present day.
“Blessed Thomas More is more important at this moment than at any moment since his death, even perhaps the
great moment of his dying; but he is not quite as important as he will be in about one hundred years time.”
—G.K. Chesterton, 1929
32
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:12
MODULE II: Grave Threats
Rev. Roger J. Landry
Bifurcation of Faith and Reason: Unleashing Radical Secularism and Its Impact on Medicine
“We have not the right and we have not the reason to despair if we understand that our entire struggle is premised
not upon a victory to be achieved but a victory that has been achieved…far from despair, we have a right and reason
to rejoice that we are called to such a time as this, a time of testing, a time of truth.”

KEYNOTE LUNCHEON ADDRESS
Pastoral Care in Health and the New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Faith
The Thirteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops took place in the Vatican on October 7-28, 2012.
Its theme was “The New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith”. At the end of their deliberations,
the Synod Fathers addressed a Message to the whole world in which specific places for the new evangelization were
identified: the family, parishes and the world of health.
“You have come into the world as I have, with a mission to fulfill…You have a mission to cure the sick.
But if you do not also bring love to the patient’s bedside, I do not think that your medicines will be of much use…
Love cannot do without words. And you yourselves, how can you other than by words, bring spiritual comfort
to a patient? Bring God to your patients; that will help them more that any other cure.”
—St. Padre Pio
43
“Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed
by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God,
what is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Romans 12:2
MODULE IV: Defending the Most Vulnerable
Franklin L. Smith, M.D.
POLST: Life Sustaining or Life Ending?

We must always be on the patient’s side-always.”

LUNCHEON ADDRESS
Cathy Ruse, J.D.
No Finer Time to be a Faithful Catholic
“We live in a time that calls for sentinels and public witness. Every Christian in every era faces the same task.
But you and I are responsible for THIS moment. Today. Now. We need to “speak out,” not only for religious liberty
and the ideals of the nation we love, but for the sacredness of life and the dignity of the human person,
in other words, for the truth of what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God.”
—Archbishop Charles Chaput
50
“Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13
MODULE VI: In The Trenches (For Medical Students/Residents)
Why Strive for Sainthood?
“Some doctors take it for granted that, because that are medical professionals, they can destroy anything.
But medicine is not just a profession. The work of a doctor is a consecrated life to the service of others,
to put their love for God in the service of the sick. It is not just making money, it is not a business.
It is a life of consecration, it is a vocation. God has chosen them to heal, to be His hands in healing,
to be His love and compassion for the sick and suffering.”
—Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
51
“I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts.”
Habakkuk 2:1
MODULE VII: On the Home Front (For Spouses)

CONFERENCE BANQUET: Keynote Speaker
George Weigel
Evangelical Catholicism in the Healing Professions
“But a lot of what happens to the West during this century will depend on whether
