The archdiocese denounced the “collapse of humanity” in Haitian society, “where the unthinkable has become commonplace,” in response to the recent kidnapping of nine people from an orphanage on the outskirts of the capital. “This kidnapping,” the archdiocese says, “constitutes an attack on what is most noble in a society: service free of charge to others, the innocence of the defenseless child, the faith embodied in works of mercy,” adding that this new act of barbarism is “a sign, among many others, of moral collapse, state failure, and a society that is losing its sense of life and human dignity.”
