The above link is to an article by Jesuit priest Thomas J. Reese. The following quotation from it really struck me in a way that I was not expecting:
"An estimated 200,000 people have died. Thousands have been traumatically injured, and many of them will die of their injuries or disease. These people are not just statistics, they are men and women and children with faces and names and feelings." (italics mine)
This is a great article on the compassion of God, but I wonder how Dr. Byron would feel about the Zion passage in Isaiah being changed to include Haiti in its context.
