ReviewsResponding to a climate of political tribalism and cultural fracturing, Dr. Camosy's new book provides a unifying framework for creating a culture of encounter in which mercy, responsibility and dignity lift up vulnerable populations for special protection and welcome. -- Kristin M. Collier, MD FACP "Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine ] Director of the Program on Health, Spirituality and Religion ] University of Michigan Medical School"

SynopsisThis is a book about hope in the midst of a polarized culture. Camosy begins with a hopeful starting point in the midst of a crumbling US political culture: two of every three Americans constitute an "exhausted majority" who reject right/left polarization and are open to alternative viewpoints. Especially at this time of realignment, we have been given a unique moment to put aside the frothy, angsty political debates and think harder about our deepest values. A Consistent Life Ethic, especially one which embraces Pope Francis' challenge to resist "throwaway culture," has the capacity to unite people who for the last several decades imagined themselves in a polarized culture war.
