Abstract

The article casts a glance at the physical, sensory and cognitive disabilities of the human person, by replacing the idea of God as its direct or indirect causer by the randomness theory. It defines disability as expression of the limited character of human being in general. It proposes a pastoral approach and an ethical stance before people with disabilities.
