Shared Philosophy
We share the philosophy expressed by Pope John Paul II in the writing below entitled "The Dignity of Disabled Persons."
In spite of the limitations and sufferings affecting their bodies and faculties, [people with disabilities] point up more clearly the greatness and dignity of man...They should be helped to participate in the life of society in all its aspects and at all levels accessible to their capacities.
The disabled person is one of us and participates fully in the same humanity that we possess. It would be radically unworthy of man and a denial of our common humanity, to admit to the life of the community, and thus to work, only those who are fully functional. To do so would be to practice a serious form of discrimination, that of the strong and healthy against the weak and sick...
The various bodies involved in the world of labor, both the direct and indirect employer, should therefore by means of effective and appropriate measures fost the right of the disabled people to professional training and work, so that they can be given a productive activity suited to them.
