Christification of the Disabled
This article is from a Korean Progressivist newspaper: [Editorial] Handicapped Bear the Cross for the Rest of Us. Here's how the article concludes:

No society can avoid having people become handicapped. Those in our society carry that cross for the rest of us. Society's reward for that is truly shameful.

A few days ago, a student in my Presentation Skills class expressed the same curious idea in an impromptu speech, although she expressed it in more Buddhistic terms, saying that a number of folks were destined to be disabled, and those that are are being so in our stead.

We Catholics believe that our personal sufferings can be united to those of Christ. In that light, the above sentiments seem a bit less scandalous.
