The Fourth Lateran Council did subordinate cure of the body's ills to
cure of sould in c. 22. This was not to discourage medical care but to
discourage use of any remedies - not enumerated - which might undermine
chances of salvation. It might be interesting to follow up canonistic
commentary & casuistic literature to determine whether more detail is
given on such remedies.
