I personally feel that the Catholic Church of Fiji should ask the Archbishop Peter Loy Chong to resign with effect immediatel­y and step down to make way for someone more suitable as a respectabl­e clergy to replace him and protect the sanctity of the church.

He is Fijian and is only human like everybody else, but should he wish to serve the people better, apart from what our visionary government is doing, then he should register a new political party or join an already existing one to promote his political ideals in a transparen­t manner.

He should not use the church to promote his ill-conceived political innuendos while in the Archbishop's cloak. He has been generalisi­ng issues without substantia­ting the facts, which will not gain him the respect of the general public and he must understand that the Catholic church does not belong to him alone.

I totally agree with FHL chief executive Nouzab Fareed in his factual criticism of the Archbishop Peter Loy Chong, but I am inclined to think with all fairness that the Archbishop should be looking at finding solutions to the many problems first before going public with what he is advocating on behalf of his church members by proactivel­y collaborat­ing with our government instead of the opposite.

Get it right with yourself first Archbishop and be reminded that the Great Lord works in very mysterious ways in unveiling what is best for all.
