re: "Pope plea for needy" (BP, November 22, 2019)
Dear editor,
In a land where bad men have had crafted a constitution to suppress human rights, is it quite right for the pope to be telling the leaders of Thai society to respect human dignity? That is surely a bit blunt.
In a land where the greedy 1% own a whopping 67% of the nation's wealth thanks to decades of coups against democracy for the people, is it quite right for the pope to be telling the leaders of Thai society to be compassionate to the poor? That is surely a bit blunt.
