Vulnerability and Flourishing (CTS70)
By: Cristina Lledo Gomez and John N. Sheveland
Overview
When is vulnerability a good, and when is it subject to manipulation and harm? How might flourishing be understood within Pope Francis’s push for integral human development, integral ecological conversion, and synodality, enabling an ethic of flourishing in church and society, rather than persistent vulnerability to abuse, harm, or re-traumatization?
