Fully people. People with profound intellectual disabilities in the teaching the Catholic Church

Anna Maliszewska



Abstract

The assurance of the complete humanity of people with intellectual disabilities is well grounded in the teaching of the Catholic Church. On the other hand the majority nof the statements of the Magisterium regarding the substance of humanity seem to take no account of people with intellectual disabilities. The notions of human rationality and freedom appear to be particularly problematic in this context. This study, firmly embedded in the teaching of the Catholic Church and employing arguments from its wealth, aims to demonstrate people with profound intellectual disabilities as fully endowed with and able to actualise humanity in its fullest.
