Linacre Quarterly is an academic journal published by the Catholic Medical Association that was established in 1932.[1] The journal primarily focuses on the relationship between medicine and spirituality and in particular on medical ethics. It is viewed as one of the foremost medical journals in the field of medical ethics by the president of the Catholic Medical Association.[2]
An example of how the journal approaches both religious and medical issues is provided by an article in the August 2006 issue that discusses the medical aspects of crucifixion, given that the Crucifixion of Jesus is a central element of the Roman Catholic faith.[3]
