    Frank BrennanARTICLEStudies An Irish Quarterly Review2021

    Where Has Cardinal Pell’s Case Brought Us in the Australian Church? Frank Brennan SJ Pope John Paul II’s biographer George Weigel, writing the Introduction to Cardinal Pell’s Prison Journal, describes this writer as one who ‘had previously held no brief for Cardinal Pell’ and as ‘one who was a severe critic’.1 I plead guilty to both charges.

    The concept of access to pain management as a human right has gained increasing currency in recent years.

  • As vast as the world”—reflections on A Very Easy Death by Simone de Beauvoir

    Frank BrennanARTICLEMedical Humanities2004Referencias: 1

    In 1964, Simone de Beauvoir, arguably one of the greatest writers of 20th century Europe, published an account of the final 6 weeks of her mother's life. It is a beautifully written, raw, honest, and powerful evocation of that period from the viewpoint of a relative. Its themes are universal-love, ambivalence in family ties, loss, and bereavement. Given that the events preceded the modern palliative care movement, reflections are made on differen…
