Applying a sociotheological approach that combines the perspectives of modern sociology, Catholic social doctrines, and Pope Francis's inductive synodal theology, as well as drawing from secondary literature, media reports, and church documents, it argues for the necessity of a holistic, interdisciplinary, and synodal lay Catholic social spirituality that is informed by Pope Francis?s synodality. Presenting sociological research for health care practitioners to uphold options for the poor in public health, it envisions a lay spirituality that participates in civil society?s health care reform agenda at the macro level, and practices Christian and Ignatian discernment at the micro level, as its main behavioral components. This book appeals to Christian health care actors, entrepreneurs, and spiritual directors as well as scholars and students in sociology, religion, moral theology, bioethics, and spirituality. 606 $aCatholic Church 606 $aChristianity and the social sciences 606 $aChristian sociology 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aMonotheism 606 $aPublic health 606 $aSocial medicine 606 $aCatholicism 606 $aSocial Scientific Studies of Christianity 606 $aSociology of Religion 606 $aMonotheistic Religions 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aHealth, Medicine and Society 615 0$aCatholic Church. 615 0$aChristianity and the social sciences. 615 0$aChristian sociology. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 0$aMonotheism. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aSocial medicine. 615 14$aCatholicism. 615 24$aSocial Scientific Studies of Christianity. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 615 24$aMonotheistic Religions. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aHealth, Medicine and Society. 676 $a282 700 $aBallano$b Vivencio$01833138 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911015635103321 996 $aCommodified Health Care and Lay Catholic Social Spirituality$94408053 997 $aUNINA
