- Abstract
The article reports on the articulation of identity of Catholic healthcare organizations. The author uses three types of perspective in identifying the relevance of articulating Catholic identity. Organizational, ecclesiastical and philosophical perspectives through interviews, magisterial teaching and reference to Charles Taylor are used in the article. From the organizational perspective, the author identifies communication and embodiment of Catholic identity as reasons for its articulation. Furthermore, a modernized concept of articulation is derived from Taylor's philosophy.
