Does Suffering Bring Grace?

From The Nation blog - The Daily Outrage:

* * * When MSNBC's Scarborough Country wanted the "Catholic church's take" on the tsunami, William Donahue, President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, was more than happy to oblige. "There is no greater suffering than what Christ did," Donahue said. "In one strange sense, then, what's happening to these poor Asian people is their gift to the world." Donahue's predecessor, conservative Cardinal John O'Connor, also found generosity in perverse places, once clumsily calling the Holocaust Judaism's "gift" to the world.
