Archbishop

Nadi

Jesus Christ was nailed and died on the cross. He suffered great humiliation and pain for human kind to be saved.

But for as long as he tries to justify his outdated poverty statistics nonsense in this well circulated newspaper, the Catholic Archbishop Peter Loy Chong and his cronies must always be prepared to subject themselves and expect a reply or a challenge from public opinion in open Letters to the Editor.

Or are we obliged to give him the benefit of doubt about his irresponsible letter on the poverty data, quoting from Dr Waden Narsey’s report? If your release was an indirect ploy to lure voters to the Opposition well, Archbishop, you did not succeed.

I certainly will not take politically motivated garbage lying down because it is wrong, unjust and insulting. What the heck is he trying to prove anyway and what solutions does the Catholic Church have to contribute holistically to the alleviation of poverty? Wake up please, Archbishop. We are in the year 2018, but why are you taking Fijians backwards. Since the first human colonised the Earth, slavery, poverty, discrimination, prostitution, child abuse and rape of unaccounted innocent alter boys by catholic priests from around the globe have all existed. And no religion has ever succeeded in its total eradication.

We inherit all these through our human evolution. It is a cancer which not even the most genius of all scientists and medical personnel, nor the Archbishop can find the right medicine for its cure.

Your statistical data is anti-government and so outdated as it does not concur with the latest progressive 2016-2018 report that you can easily obtain from the Government Statistician at the Office of the Bureau of Statistics which is a five minute walk through the Totogo Police post from across the Cathedral.

Yes I agree we can only learn from the past, make amends and move forward with user friendly proactive policies to inclusively benefit all.

Please remember that the God we serve has given this country a Government with a leadership that we deserve. In answering our prayers, it should be respected by every Tom, Dick and Harry. But for the record Archbishop, the 2004-2005 data is a long time ago. It is such a big difference and it would be advisable for your office to update it. Please and stop living in the past.

I still wholeheartedly maintain Peter Loy Chong should resign and join a political party of his choice in 2022.
