CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Pierre-André Dumas of Anse-à-Veau et Miragoâne (Haiti) has condemned the abduction of six religious sisters and others traveling on a bus and has offered himself in exchange for them.

“We denounce with vigor and firmness this ultimate odious and barbaric act which does not even respect the dignity of these consecrated women who give themselves wholeheartedly to God to educate and train the young, the poorest and the vulnerable in our society,” he said.
