July 1
July 1 1997 was the date that Hong Kong was handed back to China and everyone hoped for the best but feared the worst. The worst has started with Carrie Lam the current Chief Executive of Hong Kong. We write this not to judge her but to correct her mistakes and hope that one day she returns to the path she has strayed from.
Carrie Lam is a catholic. A modernist, Vatican 2 Catholic but still claims to be a catholic. Since her time as leader of Hong Kong she has not, as far as we can tell, done anything to promote or protect the faith. She has also done nothing to try and bring people to the faith. These are all things that a good Catholic leader needs to do. She appears to have failed in her duty as a catholic of anytype.
Instead, she has embraced the tenants of Communism and has promoted them to the people of Hong Kong. She has praised Communists from one end of Hong Kong to another and yet has kept quiet about the Catholic faith. She claims the government has freedom of speech and of the press but never mentions freedom of religion. We wonder why.
She has instilled fear into most of the people and that fear, as the Church has made clear, will one day be a catalyst for some type of revolt against the system she firmly embraces for the woes of the people.
Finally, she has claimed in the past that she is guaranteed to go to heaven but she offers no proof. This is most likely the sin of presumption and it is a grave sin.
In the end, unless she changes her public religious stance we fear for her judgment. For on the day she dies she will stand before God and have to answer for everything that she has done. Then she will learn that Communism is not the answer to anything except suppression of the people.
