Avoid arousing the passions of people
“We should avoid arousing the passions of people, whoever they are, because we are all vulnerable. We are living in a culture that is drawn to so many sins that are against the flesh. All of us are vulnerable to it, whether it be a regular human on the street or a spiritual man, and we should avoid being the source of temptation to other people," said Father Ho Lung.
But his religious rant has drawn the ridicule of some social media users who view Ho Lung’s comments as ridiculous and intrusive.
How long has it been?
“Father? How long has it been?” one Facebook post under the initials SC stated.
“It is he who seems to be tempted,” another said.
“We doesn’t he spend time rebuking the child molesters in his own Roman Catholic church and leave people to enjoy their lives?” another Facebook poster wrote.
Photo gone viral
Hanna, a former Miss World winner posted a photograph of herself on Facebook wearing a T shirt with a bikini underneath and the picture seemed to have aroused the priest’s ire.
The photograph has gone viral and received thousands of likes and hundreds of compliments.
