On January 6, 2002 the Boston Globe published its first account of Cardinal Bernard Law’s cover-up of the abuse of young boys on at the hands of Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Boston, thus beginning years of similar accounts telling of shattered trust in the Catholic Church and the hopeless state of many victims of pedophiliac priests. It was emblematic of this first decade in the third millennium, “a decade from hell” being the phrase used by a major American magazine.

Viewing the images coming out of Haiti, pictures of little children suffering terribly, some with arms and legs hastily and excruciatingly amputated, pictures of desperate people struggling for a bit of water or food, along with other images of terrible and painful human suffering, who has not wondered why God has allowed such cruelties to beset us not only now but down through the ages of human history? Why is it that this happens when God is all-powerful and infinitely good? Where is God in human suffering?
