Mary Jo Iozzio - Böcker

Roman Catholic women theologians from all over the world discuss the HIV/AIDS pandemic in terms of their particular geographical and social location.It's common knowledge that in developing countries - Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America - the burden of HIV/AIDS falls disproportionately on women, who are generally the victims of male carriers of the disease. In this book, Roman Catholic women theologians from all over the world will discuss the pandemic in terms of their particular geographical and social location. The model for the volume is Continuum's "Catholic Ethicists on HIV/AIDS Prevention" (2000), edited by James Keenan, S.J. The occasion or impetus for the volume was the First International Crosscultural Conference for Catholic Theological Ethicists, single-handedly created by James Keenan (he raised 3/4 of a million dollars) and held at Padua, July 2006. (The plenary sessions will be published by Continuum under the title "Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church.").The mentors for the volume will be James Keenan (editor Iozzio's Doktorvater) and Margaret Farley, 'America's leading Catholic feminist theological ethicist' (19 Dec. review of "Just Love in America").Farley's advocacy both in the US and Africa on the issue of women and AIDS is renowned, and she will be the best-known contributor. The leading contributor from English-speaking Europe is Linda Hogan from Trinity College Dublin.

Human beings are relationally dependent, regardless of race, gender, or functionality, and while persons with disability may seem to epitomize dependency, they are neither more nor less dependent than those without disabilities. Many people deny, if not absolutely reject, any claim of dependence on others once maturity is reached; however, this position contradicts reality—disabled and nondisabled alike are dependent on others for the provision of both basic and complex services. Acknowledging one's dependence can facilitate relief from the hardships everyone experiences over the course of a lifetime: sickness, injury, disease, and the difficulties of aging.With Radical Dependence, Mary Jo Iozzio approaches concerns of and for disabled persons by presenting a Trinitarian theological anthropology of relationality and the radical dependence that such a reality presumes. Iozzio demonstrates the influence such a theology can have on the ways that institutions—healthcare, schools, social services, civic organizations, and churches—can practice solidarity and subsidiarity alongside people with disability who have been too long oppressed, sequestered, and forgotten.Disability studies is increasingly engaging theology and ethics. Colleagues in systematics have offered keen insights and challenges to theological anthropology inclusive of people with disability. This text builds on some of that work, expands it through a Trinitarian lens, and approaches each imago Dei as inherently dependent upon others. Radical Dependence considers the contours of an ethics that uses a disability hermeneutic while it engages the Scriptures, systematic theology, virtue ethics, and Catholic Social Teaching applied to questions that arise in formal, informal, and intimate contexts. This is an ethical vision for people with disability and the nondisabled alike, for all who wish to embrace the radical fullness of human existence.

A primer on disability ethics from a Catholic perspective offers practical strategies for inclusionPersons 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.
