A primer on disability ethics from a Catholic perspective offers
practical strategies for inclusion Persons with disability make up
at least 15 percent of the global population, yet disability is
widely unacknowledged and unexplored in theology. Moreover, many
people join this minority community in their lifetimes through
compromises to their health due to aging or accident. However, too
few people without immediate experience of persons with disability
remain unconcerned with this largest and most diverse minority of
people across the globe. Disability Ethics and Preferential Justice
is a response to a dearth of theo-ethical reflection on disability,
arguing that justice requires a preferential safeguard for persons
and communities of people with disability. Mary Jo Iozzio
introduces the basics of disability realities and etiquette for
those who have not recognized their absence in common human
activities. She uses reflection on the image of God as a foundation
for a theological lens within disability ethics and exposes
personal and systemic forms of control that able-bodied people
(knowingly or not) exercise to maintain power over people with
disability. She offers strategies based on Catholic social teaching
to inspire deliberate action with an increasingly inclusive and
participatory Church and society. Iozzio invites readers to think
about their responses to matters of disability inclusion across the
common spaces to which all of us should have access. She challenges
secular spaces as well as the Church's response to persons with
disability concerning especially structural accessibility to
worship, the sacraments, and community.
