Abstract
This article considers how compassion can be subversive to political-economic orders, whether these orders are found in church or society.

To illustrate how compassion can be subversive, the author turns to the realities of a market society—a society dominated by a culture of neoliberalism and neoliberal capitalism—and concludes with two case illustrations.
