Making Sense Out Of Bioethics
Father Tad Pacholczyk, Director of Education at the NCBC, is the author of a column called
Making Sense out of Bioethics
that appears in various diocesan newspapers across the country.
After earning a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Yale University, Fr. Tad did post-doctoral research at Massachusetts General Hospital/ Harvard Medical School. He subsequently studied in Rome where he did advanced studies in theology and in bioethics.
Please share the link to this page with others that you know would benefit from Fr. Tad's concise explanations of the Church's position on these crucial issues.
Subscriptions to this series are also available from the NCBC for diocesan and other newspapers. Contact the NCBC at 215-877-2660 for details.
