The Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Health Care Workers was set up by the Motu Proprio ''Dolentium Hominum'' of 11 February 1985, by Pope John Paul II who reformed the Pontifical Commission for the Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers into its present form in 1988. It is part of the Roman Curia. ==Description== The Apostolic Constitution ''Pastor Bonus'' describes the work of the council as: *''Art. 152 — The Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers shows the solicitude of the Church for the sick by helping those who serve the sick and suffering, so that their apostolate of mercy may ever more effectively respond to people’s needs. *Art. 153 — § 1. The Council is to spread the Church’s teaching on the spiritual and moral aspects of illness as well as the meaning of human suffering'' (). Its tasks also include coordinating the activities of different dicasteries of the Roman Curia as they relate to health care. The Pontifical Council explains and defends the teachings of the Church on health issues. The Council also follows and studies programs and initiatives of health care policy at both international and national levels, with the goal of extracting its relevance and implications for the pastoral care of the Church. Archbishop Zygmunt Zimowski is its President, and Monsignor Jean-Marie Musivi Mupendawatu is the Secretary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Health Care Workers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
