民主、自由和法治精神的比較

中國的近代史,是一頁慘痛的歷史:中國被列強分割,幾乎亡國後來終於可以怎站起來富起來強起來其中的過程,因緣際會,也讓中國人在不同的地方,體驗各種不同的政制,可以作出比較和選擇制度的機會。

經過半個多世紀的演變,中國三個區域的中國大陸、香港和台灣形成了完全不同的政治體制和生態:基本上,中國大陸是精英政治Meritocracy,香港是自由市場,而台灣是民主社會。這三個不同體制各有優劣,如果中國能夠總三者之長,棄三者之短,使中國同時擁有民主、自由和富強的元素,中國便可以建立一個鞏固的基礎。

要國家富強,一定要國泰民安,人民可以安居樂業,過「小康」的生活;而中國的中央領導人宋平,對「小康」的定義就是:「孩子上得起學,病了看得起病,老了有所養,沒有後顧之憂。如果有了這三條,人均收入只有一百美元也是小康;沒有這三條,人均收入達到一萬美元也不叫小康。」 

無論世界和中國歷史告訴我,能令人民温飽甚至富足,就是好的政權政府。西方國家都是由獨裁王權開始後來因侵略及霸佔殖民地發展國家富裕起來人民才要求民主所以中國人都要首先富起來改善生活強起來不被人威脅然後人民才可以逐步改善政制 

中國、香港和台灣雖然都是中國人的社會,但是政制發展因為歷史背景、政治理念和經濟發展路向不同,而有所分別,現時來說: 

·   中國欠缺民主自由,法治精神薄弱,透明度低,有政治逼害;
 
·   香港欠缺民主,但是有高度自由,法治精神高,透明度也高,沒有任何政治逼害;
 
·   台灣有民主和自由,法治精神高,但是透明度低,有政治逼害。 

至於新加坡,國民大多數都是華裔,經濟和政治十分穩定;民主、自由和法治都有,但可惜卻好像是半真半假的。

在過去五年當中,大中華圈的經濟形勢有很大的改變,對政治生態有極大的衝擊:

·   中國的經濟每年都持續增長,國民生活有實質改善,中產階級已經誕生,年輕人充滿拼搏精神,國力大大增強;自由度、法治精神和透明度日漸改善,政府和人民的信心建立起來,對未來充滿憧憬;

·   香港在「非典型肺炎」(SARS)期間,曾經歷嚴重的經濟衰退相信新冠病毒情況之後的情況將會一樣,中流砥柱的中產階級慘遭失業、收入減少和負資產等因素拖累,對前途缺乏信心,形成對政府宣洩極度不滿,政府處於劣勢,最後需要祖國幫助香港復興經濟;

·   台灣與香港的經濟情況差不多,昔日的活力不再,原本可以靠天時、地利、人和因素投資中國,利用中國的低成本、高效益有利條件再刺激經濟,然而民進黨執政凡事以「台獨」和「國家安全」作考慮點,喪失了很多與中國大陸通商的黃金機會,而且消耗了很多寶貴的時間與發展空間

三地人民基本上都有同樣的訴求:國家富強、人民幸福、可以享受高度民主、自由、公平和法治;在現今的形勢,中港台都各有所長,實在可以互相比較和學習,求同存異,互補長短,以人民福祉為最終目的,務求國力日漸強盛,人民生活持續改善。

Cardinal Pell 'knew of' clergy abuse, says Australian royal commission


7 May  2020

Cardinal George Pell knew of child sexual abuse by priests in Australia as early as the 1970s but failed to take action, a landmark inquiry found.

The findings on Cardinal Pell - an ex-Vatican treasurer - come from Australia's royal commission into child sexual abuse, which ended in 2017.

Details were only revealed on Thursday. A court had previously redacted the report because the cleric was facing child abuse charges at the time.

The cardinal has denied the findings.

He said he was "surprised" by the inquiry's report, adding: "These views are not supported by evidence."

Cardinal Pell was convicted of child abuse in 2018, but last month was released from jail after Australia's top court overturned his conviction.

What did the inquiry find about Pell?

In over 100 pages concerning Pell's actions, the commissioners found the cardinal knew of paedophile priests both early in his career, and as he progressed.

In particular, the commissioners dismissed the cleric's long-stated defence that he didn't know about the actions of his former colleague Gerard Ridsdale. in the Victorian city of Ballarat.

Ridsdale is in jail for hundreds of child abuse offences - and is considered Australia's worst convicted paedophile priest.

"We are satisfied that in 1973 Father Pell turned his mind to the prudence of Ridsdale taking boys on overnight camps," the commissioners said in the report.

"We are also satisfied that by 1973, Cardinal Pell was not only conscious of child sexual abuse by clergy, but he also considered measures of avoiding situations which might provoke gossip about it," the commission said.

Pell was involved in the decision to transfer Ridsdale, as well other suspected abusers, to different parishes, the inquiry said.

Since the 1990s, the cardinal has been criticised in Australia for his response to priest abuse within the Church.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse was set up in 2012, largely in response to allegations surrounding the Catholic Church.

In 2016, when Cardinal Pell testified at the royal commission from Rome, he apologised on behalf of the church and said it had "mucked things up".

However he did not accept any responsibility for failing to report Ridsdale and several other suspected abusers. He claimed he had been deceived by other senior clergymen.

But in relation to one such claim, the commissioners said: "We do not accept that Bishop Pell was deceived, intentionally or otherwise."

Australia's royal commission inquiry found that the greatest number of reported abusers were in Catholic institutions.

The inquiry heard that 7% of the nation's Catholic priests allegedly abused children between 1950 and 2010.

奉勸香港人未信奉耶穌的不要信已經信奉耶穌的,隨時被巫人性侵,要堅強地抛棄邪惡的耶穌

閣下宣稱個別神父犯錯,罪大惡極,然而這只是說明人性的本質醜惡;而犯罪的話,始終會罪有應得,神自會懲治,只是時間問題;請問那一個宗教沒有劣行?那一個政治理念沒有貪官?那一個文化歷史沒有暴君,那一個教育系統沒有失德的老師及學生?然而閣下會否因學校有個別缺德的老師及學生而取消教育制度?會否中國歷史有個別昏君與暴君而抹殺中國文化?會否因樓價曾經下跌而拒絕置業?
