Pastoral Letter of Archbishop Paul Kwong
11 June 2019
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I understand that the purpose of the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 is to plug the loopholes in our current legislation. However, this proposed amendment has caused heated debates and deep-seated uneasiness and worries that have resulted in violent conflicts thus dividing the society.
I appeal to all parties concerned – those who are against and those who are pro the amendment – to immediately calm down and to return to reasons in discussing how to resolve the dispute so as to avoid causing further chaos to the society. It is my hope that people from all sectors, especially young people, to express their demands through legal and legitimate channels and means, and not to resort to illegal means. Illegal means will harm not only those who resort to it, but also those who love them and their beloved, and the society as a whole.
I called on all Christians to pray for the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong and for a perfect resolution to the dispute.

I think that this headline appears to be designed to inflame one’s emotions. Subsequent reading of the article does not reveal what the headline would suggest. Maybe the editors should include a link to an opinion article for why they feel such a headline is warranted.
Please, Kwong is pro-Beijing at heart, it’s obvious.
Kwong has long been a communist stooge.

Paul Kwong; what a jackass he is! I have heard this guy speak at a couple of clergy conferences in Australia and he talked about doing things in a particular ”Chinese way”. He was also proud to announce that he was an opponent of the Tiananmen Square Protests in 1989 – he was then a priest of nine years.
Paul Kwong is bad news! ???
Sadly, Welby has got it very wrong again: Welby had thought Kwong was his guy inside the People’s Republic of China (PRC), when Kwong is actually PRC’s guy inside the Anglican Communion. ?
And, with three out of the four Instruments of the Communion — the Abp of Canterbury, the Lambeth Conference, the Primates Meeting — already screwed, I don’t think we could expect anything more from the fourth instrument Kwong heads, the ACC, either. ?
We just have to compare him with Cardinal Joseph Zen to see what is a truly man of faith.
Unfortunately, its true, Paul Kwong is a longtime stooge of the anti-Christian communist regimen of China. I hope that there are true and honest bishops in his province that can replace him.
